Answer:

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two lines are said to be perpendicular each other, then the multiplicative of their slope is -1.

Let "m1" be the slope a line and "m2" be the slope of the perpendicular line.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Here, let's take "m1" be the slope of the green line and "m2" be the slope of the red line.

They said to be perpendicular to each other.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Given: m1 = 1/7

NOw plug in m1 = 1/7 in the above statement, we get

1/7 *m2 = -1

Let's find the value of m2, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/7

The reciprocal of 1/7 is 7.

7*1/7*m2 = -1*7

7/7.m2 = -7

m2 = -7

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

Help please. .....................

viva [34]

we can use formula

$y=ab^x$

now, we can find a and b

Initially , price is 500

so,

At $x=0,y=500$

$500=ab^0$

$a=500$

now, we can plug back

$y=500(b)^x$

At $x=3,y=10$

we can use it and find b

$10=500(b)^3$

now, we can solve for b

and we get

$b=0.27144$

so,

Solve for 'p'

Darina [25.2K]

$\left(\dfrac{9a^{-4}}{25}\right)^p=\dfrac3{5a^2}$
$\left(\dfrac9{25a^4}\right)^p=\dfrac3{5a^2}$

One way to find $p$ is to notice that the part on the left hand side within the parentheses can be written as a square:

$\dfrac9{25a^4}=\dfrac{3^2}{5^2(a^2)^2}=\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^2$

So you could write

$\left(\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^2\right)^p=\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^{2p}=\dfrac3{5a^2}$

Since these two expressions are equal, and the bases are the same, you know the exponents must be equal, with the exponent on the right hand side being 1. So $2p=1$ , or $p=\dfrac12$ .
