The origin is at the point (0,0). Therefore, the y-intercept will be 0. For two points to be perpendicular, the slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other. .5 can be seen as 1/2, so the reciprocal is 2, and it is positive, making that 2 negative. Your equation would be y = -2x.

Where does the length of day remain the same throughout the year?
djyliett [7]
Due to the inclination of the terrestrial axis, the day has different duration in several points of the planet, which also depends on the time of year. However, this duration remains the same throughout the year in the Equator, which is known as the imaginary line that divides the planet in two hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

Suppose that triangle TUV is an isosceles with the base VU.
vekshin1
Set them equal to each other and solve
3x + 39 = 4x +34
-x=-5
X=5
Plug it in
3(5) + 39 = 54
4(5) +34 = 54
For the final angle ,
54 + 54 = 108
180-108 =72
The angle measures are 54,54, and 72
