Hi there!

When the slopes of two perpendicular lines are multiplied the outcome will be -1.

The slope is the number that is positioned in front of the variable x in the formula. In this case the slope of the given line is -2/5.

Let's call the slope of the perpendicular line m and take into account the given data of the question and my earlier explanation. We then find the following:

$- \frac{2}{5} \times m = - 1$
Divide both sides by - 2/5.

$m = \frac{ - 1}{ - \frac{2}{5} } = 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$
The answer is B.

~ Hope this helps you!

How do I factor x^2+4x+20

icang [17]

Its like x² + 4x +20 = 0,
x = [-4 + √[(4²) - (4*1*20)]]/(2*1) = [-4 + √(16-80)]/2 = [-4 + √(-64)]/2 = [-4 + 8√(-1)]/2 = -2 + 4i,
x = [-4 - √[(4²) - (4*1*20)]]/(2*1) = [-4 - √(16-80)]/2 = [-4 - √(-64)]/2 = [-4 - 8√(-1)]/2 = -2 - 4i,
here i = √(-1), its a complex number.
so solution is a complex number,
x = -2 - 4i & -2 + 4i.

Urgent! <br> Find the area created by the overlapping circles given the following information.

Stels [109]

Answer:

209.55in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find area of sector CADE

Radius =22 in

Angle=90°

Formula to apply is ;

Ф/360 × π × r² where

Ф=angle of sector, π=3.142 and r =radius of circle

$A=\frac{90}{360} *3.142*22*22=380.182in^2$

Find area of triangle CAD where base length is 22 inches and height is 22 inches

Area of triangle formula is;

1/2×b×h where b is base and h is height

$A=\frac{1}{2} *22*22=242in^2$

Find area remaining

380.182-242=138.182in²

Find the area of sector CBDF

Radius=28in

Angle=60°

Formula to apply is ;

Ф/360 × π × r² where

Ф=angle of sector, π=3.142 and r =radius of circle

$A=\frac{60}{360} *3.142*28*28=410.55in^2$

Area of triangle BDC

The formula to apply is

1/2×a×a×sinФ where a=28 inches and Ф=60°

$\frac{1}{2} *28*28*sin60=339.48in^2$

Remaining area

410.55-339.48=71.075in²

Area created by overlapping circles

138.182+71.075=209.26in²
