Answer:

  -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging this equation to slope-intercept form, we see the slope (x-coefficient) is 2:

  2x = 7 + y . . . . . add y

  y = 2x -7 . . . . . . subtract 7

The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:

  -1/2 = slope of perpendicular

How do I graph quadratic equations: y=(x+2)^2-1
Fudgin [204]
Easiest way is if you have a graphing calculator, but if not. Simply plug in values for x, starting at -2 for this equation, and then find the corresponding y values. Then plot.

Which of the following best describes a regular polygon when the sum of its interior angles is 1260?
Nitella [24]
Nonagon - 9 sides

Sum of interior angle of a polygon is (n-2)180 = x

N is the number of sides, so when you plug in 1260 for x, you get 9 for n

A1,a2,a3....a30-each of these 30 sets has 5 elements.b1,b2,....bn-each of these n sets has 3 elements.union of a1,a2...a30=union
zzz [600]
 the number of elements in the union of the A sets is:5(30)−rAwhere r is the number of repeats.Likewise the number of elements in the B sets is:3n−rB
Each element in the union (in S) is repeated 10 times in A, which means if x was the real number of elements in A (not counting repeats) then 9 out of those 10 should be thrown away, or 9x.  Likewise on the B side, 8x of those elements should be thrown away. so now we have:150−9x=3n−8x⟺150−x=3n⟺50−x3=n
Now, to figure out what x is, we need to use the fact that the union of a group of sets contains every member of each set.  if every element in S is repeated 10 times, that means every element in the union of the A's is repeated 10 times.  This means that:150 /10=15is the number of elements in the the A's without repeats counted (same for the Bs as well).So now we have:50−15 /3=n⟺n=45
