Use the slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the appropriate coordinates into the formula.

y_2 = 1

y_1 = 1

x_2 = -2

x_1 = 5

$\frac{1-1}{-2-5}$ = $\frac{0}{-7} =0$ . The slope is 0.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A coefficient is the contestant value (a number) placed before a variable to be multiplied. A coefficient is multiplied by it's neighboring variable. In '13a', 13 is being multiplied by a.

13 will be the coefficient in 13a.

find the equation of the line passing through the given point and perpendicular to the given equation write your answer in slope

Paraphin [41]

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept

For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocals (flipped sign and number)

For example:

slope is 2

perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

slope is -2/3

perpendicular line's slope is 3/2

3.) y = 2x - 2

The given line's slope is 2, so the perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b$ To find "b", plug in the point (-5 , 5) into the equation

$5=-\frac{1}{2}(-5)+b$

$5=\frac{5}{2}+b$ Subtract 5/2 on both sides

$5-\frac{5}{2}=b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{10}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=b$

$\frac{5}{2}=b$

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

4.) -6x + 5y = -10 Get "y" by itself, add 6x on both sides

5y = -10 + 6x Divide 5 on both sides

$y=-2+\frac{6}{5}x$

The given line's slope is 6/5, so the perpendicular line's slope is -5/6.

$y=-\frac{5}{6}x+b$ Plug in (-2, 5)

$5 = -\frac{5}{6}(-2)+b$

$5=\frac{10}{6}+b\\ 5=\frac{5}{3}+b$ Subtract 5/3 on both sides

$5-\frac{5}{3} =b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{15}{3}-\frac{5}{3}=b\\\frac{10}{3} =b$

$y = -\frac{5}{6}x+\frac{10}{3}$

7.) Perpendicular line's slope is -2

y = -2x + b Plug in (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + b

4 = -2 + b

6 = b

y = -2x + 6

8.) Perpendicular line's slope is -1/4

$y = -\frac{1}{4}x+b$ Plug in (-5 , 2)

$2=-\frac{1}{4}(-5)+b$

$2 = \frac{5}{4}+b$ Subtract 5/4 on both sides

$2-\frac{5}{4}=b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{8}{4}-\frac{5}{4}=b$

$\frac{3}{4}=b$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}$

qwelly [4]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Anyway, I'll help you either way. A sector is a region of a circle between two radii. Let's assume the sector as:

$s=25\pi cm^2$
