First, you need to find the slope of HI.

Find two points. (On the line)

(-5,5) (1,9) I’m just going to use the points for H and I.

Plug it into the slope formula.

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

M= (9-5)/(1-(-5) Switch the sign to be positive, two negatives equal a positive.

M= 4/6

Now, you just need to find the opposite reciprocal for the slope of the perpendicular line.

Flip 4 and 6. Make it negative.

-6/4

Simplify.

-3/2 or -1.5

I hope this helps!

Multiply and simplify. (x - 1)(x - 1)(x - 1)

(sorry if it's too late and you've already figured it out, but here you go anyway)
The easiest way to do this is to start by FOILing then add.
So just start with (x-1)(x-1)
(x-1)(x-1)
Front: (x*x) = x^2
Outer: (x*-1) = -x
inner: (-1*x) = -x
Last: (-1*-1) = 1
Added: x^2 -2x +1
Now take that answer and do the same thing with (x-1). It's basically the same thing, just with an added thing you need to multiply.
(x-1)(x^2-2x+1)
(x*x^2) = x^3
(x*2x) = 2x^2
(x*1) = x
(-1*x^2) = -x^2
(-1*-2x) = 2x
(-1*1) = -1
Now add everything together:
x^3+2x^2+x-x^2+2x-1
The answer is:
x^3+x^2+3x-1

The sum of two numbers is 74. The larger number is 3 more than the smaller number. Find the numbers.
nlexa [21]

Answer: It's 35.5 and 38.5


Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 74 by 3  giving you 71.

Next, divide 71 by 2; it gives you 35.5 (that's your first number).

Then, add the 3 that you took away to 35.5 and get 38.5 (that's your second number).
