The lines below are perpendicular if the slope of the green line is 2/3 what is the slope do the red line

4 0

Hey there!

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

We use the opposite of the reciprocal 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!

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.

This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:

sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse
cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse
tanθ= opposite/adjacent

Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is opposite angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

$sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}$

θ= 54
opposite= x
hypotenuse = 2.3

$sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}$

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3

$2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3$
