Could two lines with negative slope be perpendicular? Explain.

Mathematics

No.  For two lines to be perpendicular their slope must be the negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1

So if the slope of one line is negative, the line perpendicular to this must be positive by definition.

Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 56, what is Mikhail’s age?
4vir4ik [10]
Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56

3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14

since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old

4 people x 45 minutes = 180 minutes total to paint 5 walls

180/5 = 36 minutes of man work per wall

36 * 4 walls = 144 total minutes

144/6 people = 24 minutes total

1/8(p+24)=9<br> Distributive property
Grace [21]

Hey there!

1/8(p + 24) = 9

1/8(p) + 1/8(24) = 9

1/8p + 3 = 9

SUBTRACT 3 to BOTH SIDES

1/8p + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3

CANCEL out: 3 - 3 because it gives 0

KEEP: 9 - 3 because it help solve for the p-value.

NEW EQUATION: 1/8p = 9 - 3
SIMPLIFY IT!

1/8p = 6


MULTIPLY 8 to BOTH SIDES

1/8p * 8 = 6 * 8

CANCEL out: 1/8 * 8 because it gives 1

KEEP: 6 * 8 because it gives the p-value.


NEW EQUATION: p = 6 * 8

SIMPLIFY IT!

p = 48


Therefore, your answer is: p = 48


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
