Answer:

A.) -1/5 i hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x - 2

the perpindicular line to y = 5x - 2

you have to flip the 5x to be a negative and flip it to 1 over 5

y = -1/5x - 2 is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 2

Chaney deposits $1435.73 into a savings account that pays a simple annual interest rate of 1.32%. How much interest will she ear

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Interest Chaney earns after 3 years is $56.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount deposited = $1435.73

Simple annual interest rate = 1.32% = 1.32/ 100 = 0.0132

To find: Interest after 3 years

We know that the formula to calculate the interest amount is

Simple interest (S.I.) = $\frac{Prt}{100}$

where,

P is the initial amount deposited

r is the rate of simple interest in percentage

t is the time in years for which interest is to be calculated

Substituting the known values in the formula, we get

S.I = $\frac{1435.73 x 1.32 x 3}{100}$

= 56.85

Hence the interest Chaney earns after 3 years is $56.85

Could these triangles be congruent? yes, if ab ≅ de yes, if bc = 7 yes, if ab ≅ ef no, because the hypotenuses must have differe

Nitella [24]

Yes, the triangles are congruent if AB ≅ DE.

Criteria for the Congruency of two Triangles

If two triangles share the same sides and angles, they are said to be congruent triangles.

Triangles are tested for congruence using the following 4 criteria:

1) Angle-side-angle(ASA): Two angles and a side of a triangle are congruent if they are equal to two angles and the corresponding side of another triangle.

2) Side-side-side(SSS): Two triangles make congruent triangles if all three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another.

3) Side angle side(SAS): A triangle is congruent if its two sides and any included angles are equivalent to those of another triangle's two sides and corresponding angle.

4) Hypotenuse - leg(HL): If a triangle's hypotenuse and one of its legs are equal, then the triangle's hypotenuse and leg are also equal.

Checking for Congruency in the Given Triangles

ΔDEF and ABC have a equal angles, ∠F=∠B, as well as a pair of equal sides, DF = AC.

Thus, in order to satisfy the SAS criterion of congruent triangles, AB = DE

If a = i - 9k and b = j + k , find ab .

Orlov [11]

Answer:

solution

given a=1_9k and b=j+k

Now,ab=(1_9k)(j+k)

=1((j+k)-9k(j+k)

=j+k_9jk-9k^2

=k_9k^2+j_9jk

=k((1_9k)+j(1_9k)

=(1_9k)(k+k)

Artemon [7]

It would be D because you need to multiply 38 and 50. But x is the length of one classroom, and because we don't know it, you would get 38(50-x).

Good luck!!
