Use slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

XZ: -5/9
YZ: 2/7
XY: -7/2

XYZ is a right triangle because two of these slopes have a product of -1.

(YZ and XY does).  We are all busy these days.

we know that

if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

we have

x(-5,5)\\y(-3,-2)\\z(4,0)

Step 1

<u>Find the slope xz</u>

x(-5,5)\\z(4,0)

Substitute in the slope's formula

m=\frac{(0-5)}{(4+5)}

m=\frac{(-5)}{(9)}

mxz=-\frac{5}{9}

Step 2

<u>Find the slope yz</u>

y(-3,-2)\\z(4,0)

Substitute in the slope's formula

m=\frac{(0+2)}{(4+3)}

m=\frac{(2)}{(7)}

myz=\frac{2}{7}

Step 3

<u>Find the slope xy</u>

x(-5,5)\\y(-3,-2)

Substitute in the slope's formula

m=\frac{(-2-5)}{(-3+5)}

m=\frac{(-7)}{(2)}

mxy=-\frac{7}{2}

Step 4

Verify if two of the slopes are perpendicular

mxz=-\frac{5}{9}

myz=\frac{2}{7}

mxy=-\frac{7}{2}

Multiply  myz and mxy

\frac{2}{7}*-\frac{7}{2}=-1 -------> the lines segment yz and xy are perpendicular

therefore

the triangle XYZ is a right triangle

Answer:

x > -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x by dividing -3 to both side leaving x by itself.

When dividing or multiplying a negative value that has a variable the inequality switches sides. Instead of x < -4 it is x > -4. For more information or to understand inequality search for inequality video online.

A computer programmer worked 12 hours and earned $510. What is the hourly rate?
Lelu [443]

We can use ratio

If the person works for 12 hours and earns $510, for one hour:

12*1=510*x

x=510/12

x= $42.5

Thus the person earns 42.5 dollars per hour.
