What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line

Mathematics

Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of that line. Basically, the slopes of two perpendicular lines multiply to -1. The slope of this line is -1/5. To find the slope of a line perpendicular, we need to find out what number, multiplied by -1/5, would make -1. Or, we can take the opposite reciprocal (it's the same answer). This number is 5, so the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 5.

Solve for v in terms of s, t, u, and w.<br> wv=uts<br><br> v=___

we needed to eliminate w, do so by diving both sides by w and obtain the above result :)

Hope this helps.

Answer:

137 m²

Formula's:

  • area of rectangle: length + width
  • area of triangle: 1/2 * base * height

Explanation:

⇒ area of rec + area of rec + area of rec + area of triangle

⇒ 2 * 4 + 7 * 6 + 8 * 9 + 1/2 * 6 * 5

⇒ 8 + 42 + 72  + 15

⇒ 137 m²

The complement of an angle is three times the measurement of the angle. Find the measurement of the larger angle.
olganol [36]
We know that two complements add up to 90.
Let's call the smaller angle x and the larger y.
3x = y
x + y = 90
We can use simple substitution.
x + 3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 22.5

Then, since we know that 3x=y, we can find the larger angle.
3*22.5 = 67.5

Novay_Z [31]
Method 2 is the least biased.

1) vegetarians are a select group, so they might have a certain biased perspective
2) if students are chosen randomly from every grade, all grades are included and there will be a variety of responses
3)not all students dislike the program, so it is an unfair representation
4)only students who have a strong opinion will complete the survey
