Mathematics

Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal.

Example: Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into -1/3

Problem: Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into -3/2

Answer: The slope is -3/2

Substitution method x-7y=-9 -x+8y=10

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = -2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-7y=-9---------------------equation 1

-x+8y=10-------------------equation 2

From equation 1, make x the subject of formula

x=7y-9----------------------equation 3

substituting x=7y-9 in equation 2,

-(7y-9)+8y=10

Expanding bracket

-7y+9+8y=10

Collecting like terms

8y-7y=10-9

y=1

substituting y=1 in 3

x=7(1)-9

x=7-9

x=-2

A 15ftX20ft room has a 6ft diameter circular rug in it. How much of the flood is not covered by the rug?

Luda [366]

Answer:

There are 271.74 ft^2 not covered by the rug

The percentage not covered by the rug is 90.58%

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the area of the room

The area of the rectangular room is

$A=(15)(20)=300\ ft^2$

step 2

Find out the area of the circular rug

The area of the circle is

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$\pi =3.14$

$r=6/2=3\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(3)^{2}$

$A=28.26\ ft^{2}$

step 3

Find out what percentage of the room is not covered by the rug

we know that

300 ft^2 represent the 100%

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent the difference (300-28.26)=271.74 ft^2

Let

x ----> the percentage not covered by the rug

$\frac{300}{100\%}=\frac{271.74}{x}\\\\x=100(271.74)/300\\\\x=90.58\%$

Convert to fraction form

$90.58\%=\frac{90.58}{100}$

Simplify

$\frac{4,529}{5,000}$

therefore

There are 271.74 ft^2 not covered by the rug

The percentage not covered by the rug is 90.58%
