Mathematics

1 answer:

vladimir2022 [97]3 years ago

8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st number be x

2nd number = x + 2

3rd number = x + 4

4th number = x + 6

5th number = x + 8

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 20

5x + 20 = 20

5x = 20 - 20

5x = 0

x = 0 ÷ 5

x = 0

The 5 consecutive integers are

0, 2, 4, 6, 8

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 2x+5?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 5 is in this form with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$
