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.

If x^2 +2xy -8 = 0, then when x = 4, dy/dx =
Katena32 [7]
For simplicity, dy/dx means f'(x);
We have y = ( 8 - x^2 ) / 2x;
Then, y = 4/x - x/2;
So, f'(x) = (4/x - x/2)' = (4/x)' - (x/2)' = -4/(x^2) -1/2 because we use <span> d<span>ifferentiation formulas, such as : (f+g)' = f' + g'; (cf)' = cf'; x'=1; (1/x)' = -1/(x^2);
</span></span>Finally, f'(4) = -4/16 -1/2 = -4/16 - 8/16 = -12/16 = -3/4.
The correct answer is E.

slamgirl [31]

The property illustrated in the given statement 5.p = p.5 is commutative property.

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given an equation as follows:

5.p = p.5

And we have been asked to find the property this statement illustrates.

The answer to the question is, the statement illustrates commutative property.

The commutative property in math comes from the words "commute" or "move around." This rule states that you can move numbers or variables in algebra around and still get the same answer.

Which satisfies the given statement.
