What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y=-2/3x+1

1 answer:

8 0

Y = -2/3x + 1......the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the sign for a perpendicular line is 3/2 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)

Given a dilation with the origin O (0, 0), by observation determine the scale factor "K."

BaLLatris [955]

6·k = 3
k = 3/6 = 1/2

The appropriate choice is
1. 1/2

Carter Road his bike 9/10 of a mile from his house to his grandmothers house. On his way back home, he rode 3/8 of a mile before

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Carter rode his bike 9/10 of a mile from his house to his grandmothers house. This means that the distance from Carter's house to his grandmother's house is 0.9 miles. On his way back home, he rode 3/8 of a mile before the tyre on his bike went flat. This means that he rode 0.375 miles before his tyre went flat. The distance he must walk before he gets home will be the total distance from home minus the distance that he rode. It becomes

0.9 - 0.375 = 0.575 miles
