Hey there!

When we know the slope of the line and we want a perpendicular line, we follow a specific rule.

We use the <em>opposite of the reciprocal</em> of the slope given.

Therefore, slope of 3 would give -1/3, slope of 1/2 would be -2, and so on.

Therefore, if we were to have a slope of 2/3, we take the opposite of the reciprocal to get -3/2.

I don't think your answer is here. If the lines are perpendicular, that has to be the answer; but do let me know if I made a mistake and I'd be glad to talk to you about this problem :)

Hope this helps!

Triangle ABC was dilated using the rule Do,4. Triangle

AysviL [449]

The value of OB based on the information given about the triangle is 3 units.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that dilation is the process of enlarging or shrinking of an object.

In this case, the triangle is dilated. Therefore, the length of OB will be:

= 3/4 × 4 = 3 units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Which is the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form? (-1, 2) and (1, -4)

Natalka [10]

1. Find the slope using the slope formula.
$\frac{2 - ( - 4)}{ - 1 - 1} = \frac{2 + 4}{ - 2} = - \frac{6}{2} = - \frac{3}{1} = - 3$
2. Plug that slope and either point into an equation in slope-intercept form and solve for b.
$2 = - 3( - 1) + b \\ 2 = 3 + b \\ - 1 = b$
3. Now write your answer as a slope-intercept form equation
$y = - 3x - 1$

These prisms are similar. Find the surface

Bumek [7]

Answer:

823.7 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the side lengths is 6/5.

The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the side lengths, 36/25.

572 m^2 * 36/25 = 823.7 m^2
