Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines whose scopes are m₁ and m₂ are perpendicular, then the product of the scopes of both lines is -1.

Therefore,

If m₁ is the scope of line a and m₂ is the scope of line b then,

m₁m₂ = -1 and m₁ = -2

-2m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1/-2 = 1/2

The slope of line b is 1/2.

Answer:

  • to interest: $532.97
  • to principal: $54.23
  • new balance: $79,891.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest is found by multiplying the monthly rate by the balance on the loan. For the first month, the balance is the loan amount.

  $79,946.13 × 0.08 ×(1/12) . . . . . one month = 1/12 year

  = $532.97

The interest amount in the first payment is $532.97.

__

The amount of the first payment that goes to principal is what is left after the interest is paid:

  $587.20 -532.97 = $54.23 . . . amount to principal

__

The new balance is the previous balance less the amount to principal:

  $79,946.13 -54.23 = $79,891.90 . . . new balance

I’m assuming the numbers are 2/3 and 3/4 so find the common denominator. 2/3x4=8/12 and 3/4x3=9/12 so 8/12+9/12= 17/12 or 1 and 5/12

Answer:

-1/240 (Might be wrong though)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is multiply 1/15 and 1/16 because product means the answer to a multiplication equation.

1/15 times 1/16 = (1*1)/(15*16) = 1/240

Now that we know the product 1/240, we just have to find the opposite, which is -1/240 because you just add a negative sign in opposites( even in negative numbers)

Substitute the known value of x​ into y=4x+20​. Then solve for y entering the equation in simplest form
scoray [572]

Answer:

y=24, when x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y=4x+20

To find: Value of y, substituting the known value of x

We have,

y=4x+20 ...(i)

Putting x=1 in equation (i), we get

y=4(1)+20

\implies y=4+20

\implies y=24  

Hence, the value of y is 24, when the value of x is 1.
