It's B
Slope is negative, the other must be positive due to m1 x m2 = - 1
m1 = -2/5
The diagram shows a gradient of -2/5. So, the
reciprocal of this valve to make - 1 is 5/2 (which is the - 2/5 flipped upside down, but positive)
-2/5 x 5/2 = - 10/10 (or - 1)
Thus, the perpendicular line to this has a gradient of 5/2.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
