Hey there!
First, we want to put the equation of this first line in slope-intercept form.
5y=x-5
We divide both sides by 5.
y=1/5x-1.
The slope of a perpendicular is line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with the equation y=1/2x would be -2, because you flip the numerator and denominator and then make it negative.
So, this means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=1/5x-1 is -5. So, here's our equation so far.
y= -5x+b
Now, we need to find the b. To do this, we can plug in this point (-1,0) that this perpendicular line goes through and solve for b.
0=-5(-1)+b
0=5+b
b= -5
So, this gives us the equation y= -5x-5
Have a wonderful day!
Answer:
the answer is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
p(n)= 6-2(1+n)
so if p(2)
then n=2
therefore,
p(2)= 6-2(1+2)
= 4×3
=12
For the each of them simply substitute for x in each equation to see if you get the corresponding y , it doesnt really get any more straightforward than this
Hello!
I do believe you meant to say:
"What is the difference between a <em>ray</em> and a line segment?"
The difference between a ray and a line segment is:
A ray has one endpoint and continues in one direction. a ray is infinite
A line segment has two endpoints. a line segment is finite
I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
The overall length is given as 22.
The line is split into 2 parts X and 3X.
So we have X + 3X = 22
Add X and #X to get 4X:
4X = 22
Divide both sides by 4 to get X:
X = 22 /4
X = 5.5
Now we know what X is so now replace x with 5.5 and solve for LM:
LM = 3X = 3*5.5 = 16.5
