Answer:
X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope: (- 7 - -2)/(2 - 2) = -5/0 = 0
The line is vertical (undefined
Answer:
-57
Step-by-step explanation:
If he had an 8 ft board and cut 65 ft off it would be -57.
Gradient in the UK = slope in the U.S.
The gradients of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
That means the gradients of perpendicular lines are two numbers whose product is -1.
If you know the gradient of a line, to find the gradient of a perpendicular to that line, write the gradient as a fraction. Flip the fraction. Change the sign.
a) gradient = 4 = 4/1
flip the fraction: 1/4
change the sign: -1/4
The gradient of the perpendicular is -1/4
b) gradient = -3 = -3/1
flip the fraction: -1/3
change the sign: 1/3
The gradient of the perpendicular is 1/3
c) gradient = 2/3 (already a fraction)
flip the fraction: 3/2
change the sign: -3/2
The gradient of the a perpendicular is -3/2
No, because 2/5 is .4 and 4/12 is 1/3 or .333
So Jed is much faster than Alex in free throws.
