The slope of a line and the perpendiular line that intercept will always have a product of -1

If the slope k=-1/6, the perperndicular line can be found by finding the product of the slope and -1

-1= (slope)(perpendicular line slope)
perpendicular line slope= slope(-1)
                             = -1/6(-1)
                             = 6

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

A 12.0-cm segment makes a 108.0-degree angle with a 16.0-cm segment. To the nearest tenth of a cm, find the third side of the tr
Dominik [7]

Begin by using the cosine rule to find the unknown side.

Where a- unknown side, b is 12, c is 16 and angle in between is 108° 

The cosine rule...

        a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA

            = 12² + 16² - (2×12×16 cos108°)

            = 518.655076

Taking the positive square root...

         a = 22.774 

         a = 22.8 cm nearest tenth
