Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.
The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.
In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.
Answer:
The maximum distance is 17.5 miles
No she can't make to the airport.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the cab charges $0.8 per mile and $2 for tolls.
let the miles travelled by melissa be x.
The total charge is $
Now given that she can spend a maximum of $16
so the inequality is
Therefore the maximum distance she can travel is 17.5 miles
Since the distance to airport is 25 miles which is greater than 17.5 miles she cannot afford the cab.
In the default window of a graphing calculator, there is only one intersection that you see.
However, if you zoom out, you will see that they are 3 intersections to the pair of equations.
To find the area of a parallelogram you must multiply the base by the height. Since you need the length of the base you must take 15.5/3.1 which will = 5!
