What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 5?

Mathematics

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

the line is exactly opposite like a mirror image when it is perpendicular,

so the gradient of the first line is 1 (because there is no number beside x, the gradient would be 1), that means the opposite of 1 would be -1.

The answer is -1

Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a line can be written y = mx + b where m is the slope.

y = x + 5 can be written as y = 1x + 5 which shows that the slope is 1.

If the slope of a line  is m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -1/m.

So the required slope is -1/1 = -1.

A discounted amusement park ticket costs $12.95 less than the original price (p). Write and solve an equation to find the origin
Elena-2011 [213]
P = the original price of the ticket.

Let x =  the discounted price.
The discounted price IS $12.95 less than the original price. Therefore
x = p - 12.95

Add 12.95 to each side.
p = x + 12.95

Answer:
The equation is
p = x + 12.95
where
p = original price
x = discounted price

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y = –4x and passes through the point (2,
Gnesinka [82]

1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:

m*(-4) = -1

-4m = -1

m = 1/4

2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)

y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))

y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)

y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)

Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

so the answer is y = 2x - 3

In the arithmetic sequence, -12, -17, -22, -27... which term has a value of -68?​
RSB [31]

Answer:

-68 is not a term in the given sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is -12, -17, -22, -27...

There is a common difference of d=-17--12=-5

The explicit rule for this sequence is f(n)=-12-5(n-1)

Or f(n)=-5n-7

To find the term that has a value of -68 we equate the explicit formula and solve for n.

 -68=-5n-7

 \implies -68+7=-5n

 \implies -61=-5n

n=\frac{61}{5} =12.2

The position should be a natural number.

Since n is a decimal, it tells us that -68 is not a term in the given sequence
