What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line

1 answer:

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.

Can help me understand this?

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Its easy just fill in the blacks

Step-by-step explanation:

P1 is 5 P2 is 2 P3 is 4 and so on now the odd and even u add the odd number together and the even together like 2+2+1 (the even side) =5 so put 5 in the even and do the same thing to odd 5+4+6 = 15 and put 15 on odd #

Hope this helps!

In the graph, the area below f(x) is shaded and labeled A, the area below g(x) is shaded and labeled B, and the area where f(x)

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

First option: $\left \{ {{y\leq -2x + 3} \atop {y \leq x + 3}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing graph is attached.

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

We can observe that:

1. Both lines have the same y-intercept:

$b=3$

2. The lines are solid, then the symbol of the inequality must be $\leq$ or $\geq$ .

3. Since both shaded regions are below the solid lines, the symbol is:

$\leq$

Based on this and looking at the options given, we can conclude that the graph represents the following system of inequalities:

$\left \{ {{y\leq -2x + 3} \atop {y \leq x + 3}} \right.$

What is the midpoint of (-7,-9) (6,3)

Advocard [28]

Answer :

Let the first term of both the terms be $\: \sf \: x _1 \: \: \& \: \: x _2$ and last term be $\: \sf \: y _1 \: \: \& \: \: y_2\\$

Now, by using the mid point formula to find the mid point of the segment -

$\\ \sf \bigg( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \: \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \bigg) \\$

Now, by substituting the values of both x and y -

$\\ \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 7 + 6}{2} , \: \frac{ - 9 + 3}{2} \bigg) \\$

Adding -7 and 6 -

$\\ \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , \frac{ - 9 + 3}{2} \bigg) \\$

Now, move the negative in front of the fraction -

$\\ \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , \frac{ - 6}{2} \bigg) \\ \\ \\ \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , - 3\bigg) \\$
