Answer:

y = -2/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope m of perpendicular line

Simply take the negative reciprocal of the given line

m = -2/3

y = -2/3x + b

Step 2: Find b

6 = -2/3(-12) + b

6 = 8 + b

b = -2

Step 3: Rewrite perpendicular equation

y = -2/3x - 2

Answer:

$10\frac{11}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{4}{5} + 1\frac{1}{4}$

1.Find the LCM(Least Common Multiple).

That would be 20.

2.Multiply so all denominators are equal.

$5\frac{10}{20} + 3\frac{16}{20} + 1\frac{5}{20}$

3. Add

$9\frac{31}{20}$

4. Simplify

$10\frac{11}{20}$

Solve the question below. 15 17 14 16

Nadusha1986 [10]

To get the distance DC we proceed as follows:
AB-CD
=11-3
=8
BC=15
hence using Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
c=DC
a=BC
b=8
thus
c²=15²+8²
c²=225+64
c²=289
thus
c=√289
c=17 units

Answer: B. 17 units
