Line v passes through points (1, 12) and (10, 7). The slope of line w as improper fraction is \frac{9}{5}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, two points are (1, 12) and (10, 7)  

We have to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to line passing through the above given two points.

Slope of a line that pass through \left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right) is given as:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text { Here, in our problem, } x_{1}=1, y_{1}=12 \text { and } x_{2}=10, y_{2}=7

\text { slope } m=\frac{7-12}{10-1}=\frac{-5}{9}

So, slope of line v is \frac{-5}{9}

Since<em> </em>line w is perpendicular to v,<em> the product of their slopes equals -1</em>

\text { slope line } v \times \text { slope of line } w=-1

\frac{-5}{9} \times \text { slope of line } w=-1

\text { Slope of line } w=\frac{9}{-5} \times(-1)=\frac{9}{5}

Hence, the slope of line w as improper fraction is \frac{9}{5}

For A = {a,b}, determine A x P(A).
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Since A={a,b}, then P(A)=\{\emptyset, \{a,b\}, \{a\}, \{b\}\}. Remember that the Cartesian Product of two sets A, B is defined by

A\times B=\{(x,y): x\in A \text{ and } y\in B\}. Then

A\times P(A)=\{(a,\emptyset),(a,\{a,b\}),(a,\{a\}), (a,\{b\}), (b,\emptyset),(b,\{a,b\}),(b,\{a\}), (b,\{b\})\}

María drinks 400 ml of water every hour. How many hours will it take her to drink 2 L of water?
JulijaS [17]

Hello,

The correct answer is 5 Liters.

2 Liters of water = 2000 Milliliters.

If she drinks 400 Milliliters per hour, then you do 2000 ÷ 400 to work out the number of hours.

2000 ÷ 400 = 5

Hope this helps!!!! :)

1.

 18.98 per 1000

320,000 / 1000 = 320

18.98 x 320 = $6073.60


2. smoker: 9.36 * 100 = 936

 non smoker: 7.85 * 100 = 785

936 - 785 = $151
