\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{a}{b}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ b}}}{a}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \boxed{5i+12j}\implies 
\begin{array}{rllll}
\ \textless \ 5&,&12\ \textgreater \ \\
x&&y
\end{array}\quad slope=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies \cfrac{12}{5}
\\\\\\
slope=\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 5}}}{12}
\\\\\\
\ \textless \ 12, -5\ \textgreater \ \ or\ \ \textless \ -12,5\ \textgreater \ \implies \boxed{12i-5j\ or\ -12i+5j}

if we were to place <5, 12> in standard position, so it'd be originating from 0,0, then the rise is 12 and the run is 5.

so any other vector that has a negative reciprocal slope to it, will then be perpendicular or "orthogonal" to it.

so... for example a parallel to <-12, 5> is say hmmm < -144, 60>, if you simplify that fraction, you'd end up with <-12, 5>, since all we did was multiply both coordinates by 12.

or using a unit vector for those above, then

\bf \textit{unit vector}\qquad \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{||\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ ||}\implies \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\implies \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}},\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{12,-5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{12,-5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{-5}{13}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-12,5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{-12,5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{-12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{5}{13}}

24-4x=2x<br> show your work, will mark brainliest
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

24−4x=2x

24+−4x=2x

−4x+24=2x

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

−4x+24−2x=2x−2x

−6x+24=0

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.

−6x+24−24=0−24

−6x=−24

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.

−6x /−6  = −24 /−6

x=4

-8= 3-5(x+6) solving algebraicaily​
SOVA2 [1]

Let's solve your equation step by step

-8=3-5(x+6)

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation

-8=3-5(x+6)

-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)

-8=3+-5x+-30

-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)

-8=-5x+-27

-8=-5x-27

Step 2: flip the equation

-5x-27=-8

Step 3: add 27 to both sides

-5x-27+27=-8+27

-5x=19

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = 19/-5

Answer : x= -19/5
