In this item, we are not given with the figure but knowing that these lines ought to be perpendicular then we will be able to derive the relationship between the slopes of the line.

The slopes of the perpendicular line are the negative reciprocals of one another. If we represent the slopes of the lines as m₁ and m₂, the relationship can be written in the form,
(m₁)(m₂) = -1

We are given with one of the slopes. To determine the value of the second slope then,
m₂ = -1/m₁
m₂ = -1/(2/5)
m₂ = -5/2

<em>ANSWER: m₂ = -5/2</em>

Answer:

x= $\sqrt{338}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$x^2+x^2=$ $26^2$

$2x^2=26^2$

$2x^2=676$

/2 /2

$x^2=338$

$\sqrt{x^2} =\sqrt{338}$

x= $\sqrt{338}$

You are helping to plan an awards banquet for your school, and you need to rent tables to seat 180 people. Tables come in two si

pshichka [43]

Answer:

An equation modeling the situation is : 4 m + 6 n = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of guests in the banquet hall = 180

Let us assume number of tables ordered with capacity of

4 people each = m

And number of tables ordered with capacity of 6 people each = n

So, total number of people in m tables = m x ( Capacity of 1 table)

= m x (4) = 4 m

And, total number of people in n tables = n x ( Capacity of 1 table)

= n x (6) = 6 n

So, the total capacity of ( m + n) tables = 4 m + 6 n

Also, the total required capacity = 180

⇒ 4 m + 6 n = 180

Hence, an equation modeling the situation is : 4 m + 6 n = 180
