Answer:
p = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
24p = 384 ( divide both sides by 24 )
p = 16
Answer:
3 but not positive
Step-by-step explanation:
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1
So we first need to find the slope of the reference line.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(-1--5)=5/4
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of:
5m/4=-1
m=-4/5
So our perpendicular line so far is:
y=-4x/5+b, now we can use point (3,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b"
-1=-4(3)/5+b
-1=-12/5+b
-5/5+12/5=b
7/5=b
So the line is:
y=-4x/5+7/5 or more neatly
y=(-4x+7)/5
y=-0.8x+1.4
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
For a line joining two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), it's slope is given as:
Here, the two points are (-1, 6) and (2, 3) in place of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
Solving for slope:
Hence, the slope of the line joining the given points is <u>-1.</u>
