Line L passes through the points (1, 1) and (7, 8). What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to line L?

Mathematics

When a line passes through the two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) , its slope is given by the formula m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this question, a line L passes through the points (1,1) and (7,8)

So, its slope is given by m=\frac{8-1}{7-1}

m=\frac{7}{6}

When two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

Since, the slope of the line L is \frac{7}{6} , so the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the given line L is \frac{-6}{7} as the product of \frac{-6}{7} \times \frac{7}{6}=-1.

What is x and the measurements?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the measures of the 3 sides.

Sum the sides and equate to 75, that is

2x - 9 + 3x + 4 + 2x + 3 = 75, that is

7x - 2 = 75 ( add 2 to both sides )

7x = 77 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 11

Thus

AB = 2x - 9 = 2(11) - 9 = 22 - 9 = 13 m

BC = 3x + 4 = 3(11) + 4 = 33 + 4 = 37 m

AC = 2x + 3 = 2(11) + 3 = 22 + 3 = 25 m
