Answer:

Option C. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M1 be the slope of the red line

Let M2 be the slope of the green line

From the question:

Slope of red line (M1) = – 1/3

Slope of green line (M2) =.?

The slopes of perpendicular lines are related as follow:

M1 = –1 / M2

With the above formula, the slope of the green line (M2) can be obtained as illustrated below:

Slope of red line (M1) = – 1/3

Slope of green line (M2) =.?

M1 = –1 / M2

– 1/3 = –1 / M2

Cross multiply

– 1 × M2 = – 1 × 3

– 1 × M2 = – 3

Divide both side by –1

M2 = – 3/ –1

M2= 3

Therefore, the slope of the green line is 3.

What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a 0.500 mole sample of nitrogen gas in a 10.0 L container at 25.0°C?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

1.2218 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

From ideal gas formula,

PV=nRT

Where n= number of moles

V= volume

T= temperature=25.0°C

= (273 + 25) = 298 K

R= gas constant = 0.082 l atm /K mol.

Making P subject of formula we have

P= [nRT] /V

Then substitute the values we have

P= [0.5 x 0.082 x 298] / 10

P= 1.2218 atm

A cab company offers a special discount on fare to senior citizens. The following expression models the average amount a cab dri
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

  D. The constant 250 represents the average collection when no seniors ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

A -- the entire expression represents the driver's pay, not just the constant 250.

B -- collections continue to increase as x goes up, so 250 is the minimum, not the maximum.

C -- x is the number of seniors; 250 is in units of collections (dollars?), not numbers of seniors.

D -- indeed, 250 is the "y-intercept" of the expression, hence the collection when no seniors ride.
