Answer:

  1/a = xy/(y-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the reciprocal:

  1/a = 1/(1/x -1/y) = 1/((y-x)/(xy))

  1/a = xy/(y-x)

Which of the following shows that MNOP is a parallelogram for s=1 and t=2? HELP PLEASE!!
Neko [114]

Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 1 for s, and 2 for t:

5t - 2 = 5(2) - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8

t + 6 = (2) + 6 = 8

2s + 3 = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5

3s + 2 = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

NM = PO = 8 ; NO = MP = 5 ∴ (C) is your answer

Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of -1/3?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line that passing through two points M(-1, 4) and N(2, -5),

m_1 = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

   = \frac{-1-2}{4+5}

   = -(\frac{3}{9})

   = -\frac{1}{3}

To find the line perpendicular line to MN we will use the property,

m_1\times m_2=-1

Where m_1 and m_2 are the slopes of two perpendicular lines.

Slope of line perpendicular to MN (m_2) will be,

-\frac{1}{3}\times m_2=-1

m_2=3

Slope of line joining two points J(-3, -4) and K(3, -2),

Slope = \frac{-4+2}{-3-3}=\frac{1}{3}

Slope of line joining two points A(-3, 2) and B(3, 0)

Slope = \frac{2-0}{-3-3}=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope of the line joining points E(0, -3) and F(2, 3),

Slope = \frac{-3-3}{0-2} = 3

Therefore, line EF is perpendicular to the line MN.

Option (c) is the answer.
