To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.
The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3
We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.
Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.
2 = 1/3(1) + b.
Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3
Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.
y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.
Your solution should be 5.
So your answer is: a = 5
Change in y = 6
change in x = -9
so slope is 6/-9 = 2/-3 =
The sum of the expression (–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1) will be –2x – 1. Then the correct option is D.
<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>
The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.
The expression can be written as
(–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1)
Then the sum of the expression (–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1) will be
(–x² + x) + (x² – 3x – 1) = –2x – 1
Then the correct option is D.

Answer:
the length of the female dolphin would be 9 ft 3 in
Answer:
REAL NUMBER - real number is union of rational and irrational numbers .... whole numbers, natural numbers, integers, rational and irrational numbers are included in real numbers.
INTEGER -. integer means
means whole - valued positive or negative number or 0......
suppose 1, 2, 3, -6, -2....
whole numbers, such as 3, 4, but not 3.6 or √4 .
I hope you understand the difference between real numbers and integers.......
