The slope of a line perpendicular to line B would -1/2. This is because the slope of line B is 2 and whenever you’re finding a perpendicular slope you find the reciprocal of the original one. So the reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

Answer:

m = -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is find the slope of line B.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (5 - (-5)) / (3 - (-1))

m = 10 / 4

m = 2 1/2 or 5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to line B will be the negative reciprocal of 5/2. Just flip the numerator and the denominator and add a minus sign:

5/2 → -2/5

What is the rate of decay for the function f(x) =2(0.95)^x ( x is on top of the parentheses)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The decay rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function  

f(t) = P(1 - \frac{r}{100})^{t} ........... (1)

Comparing this equation with the original equation given as

f(x) = 2(0.95)^{x} ............ (2) we get,

(1 - \frac{r}{100}) = 0.95

⇒ \frac{r}{100} = 0.05

⇒ r = 5%.

Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)

bryan has some 3 cent stamps and some 4 cent stamps. what is the least number of stamps he can combine so the value of the stamp
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The least number of stamps required is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 3 cent stamps be x and 4 cent stamps be y

We have

3x+4y=33

The minimum number is obtained when more  4 cent stamps are used

Here y cannot be greater than 8 since \frac{33}{4}

Substitute y=8

3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=7

3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=6

3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9

33) Given the graphs of f(x) = x - 1 and g(x) = -x - 7, what is the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is the point of intersection of the 2 lines

The lines intersect at (- 3, - 4 ), then

f(x) = g(x) has solution x = - 3

Plz tell me the aswer and how you worked it out. A tree grows to a height of 13.75m over 5 1/2 years. What is the average annual
marin [14]
1. Take your 13.75 and 5 1/2 and put it into a dividing table 
           _______
     5.5 I13.75               

                              you need to get your decimal out of deviser (5.5) will now be (55) because you moved the decimal over there you also need to move the decimal that is on the inside to and it will be (137.5)

2. When you divide you would get 2.5 

3. Now you would know how much the tree grew over the 5 1/2 years.

ANSWER:  2.5m a year!

Hope this helped!
