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}

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

When the solution is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

One example, let's say you are buying pens and each pen cost 3 dollars and you cannot spend more than 15 dollars, how many pens can you buy?

The inequality would be 3x < 15, so any negative solution is not reasonable because you cannot buy negative pens. The same goes for most real-world problems dealing with time, money, or distance.
