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.

Answer:

The answer for 10 is y= -4x+2

If the slope is exactly the same but the y intercept is different then it will be parallel

The answer for 11 is y-5=-3/2 (x-1)

Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 29 = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would convert 1 2/3 into a improper faction. So you would multiply 1 and 3  then add 2 so 5/3 then multiply that by 1/2. You would multiply the numerators and denominators, so 5 times 1 and 3 times 2 which gives you 5/6.

Solve.<br> x^2+9x+2=0<br> thanks!
shtirl [24]
Step one:
ALWAYS set equation equal to zero, which in this case has already been done for us.

Step two:
Figure out what formula you need to use in order to solve in this case I'd use the Quadratic formula.

a=1
b=9
c=2

Quadratic formula:
x =  \frac{ - b +  -  \sqrt{(b) ^{2}  - 4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}
Then you would plug in the information.
x = \frac{ - 9+  -  \sqrt{(9) {}^{2} - 4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}
The solve for what is underneath the square root ONLY.
x =  \frac{ - 9 +  -  \sqrt{73} }{2}
Since you cannot solve this any further, your final two answers are...
x =   \frac{ - 9 +  \sqrt{73} }{2}
x =   \frac{ - 9 -  \sqrt{73} }{2}

What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (−2, 1) , ​ (−2, 4) ​, (2, 7) , ​ (6, 4) ​, and (6, 1) ​?
alekssr [168]
First we need the distances of the sides of the polygon, because perimeter = sum of all sides.
d =  \sqrt{{(y2 - y1)}^{2} + {(x2 - x1)}^{2} }
d1 =  \sqrt{{(1 - 4)}^{2} + {( - 2 -  - 2)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9}  \: = 3
d2 = \sqrt{{(4 - 7)}^{2} + {( - 2 - 2)}^{2} } \\  = \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {( -4)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9 + 16}  \\  =  \sqrt{25}  \: = 5
d3 \: = \sqrt{{(7 - 4)}^{2} + {(2 - 6)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{{(3)}^{2} +  {( - 4)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9 + 16}  \\  =  \sqrt{25} \:  = 5
d4 = \sqrt{{(4 - 1)}^{2} + {(6 - 6)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{ {(3)}^{2} +  {(0)}^{2}  }  =  \sqrt{9} \:  = 3
d5 = \sqrt{{(1 - 1)}^{2} + {(-2 - 6)}^{2} }  \\ =  \sqrt{ {(0)}^{2} +  {( - 4)}^{2}} =  \sqrt{16}  \:  = 4
Now, we add all sides for the perimeter:
p = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5
p = 3+5+5+3+4 = 20 units
