Question-

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,-8) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y=2/3 x+3

Answer-

y = x/2 + 3......x/2 is the same as 1/2x....so u have a slope of 1/2.

A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign. So we have 1/2....and we flip it making it 2/1....and we change the sign making it -2/1 or just -2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.


y = mx + b

slope(m) = -2

(1,8)...x = 1 and y = 8

now we sub and find b, the y int

8 = -2(1) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 10 <==


Hope i helped have a wonderful day...

Given: AB || DE , AD bisects BE.<br> Prove: ABC = DEC using the ASA postulate.
Ket [755]

Answer:

As per ASA postulate, the two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two triangles:

\triangle ABC and \triangle DEC.

AD bisects BE.

AB || DE.

Let us have a look at two properties.

1. When two lines are parallel and a line intersects both of them, then <em>alternate angles </em>are equal.

i.e. AB || ED and \angle B and \angle E are alternate angles \Rightarrow \angle B = \angle E.

2. When two lines are cutting each other, angles formed at the crossing of two, are known as <em>Vertically opposite angles </em>and they are are <em>equal</em>.

\Rightarrow \angle ACB = \angle DCE

Also, it is given that <em>AD bisects BE</em>.

i.e. EC = CB

1. \angle B = \angle E

2. EC = CB

3. \angle ACB = \angle DCE

So, we can in see that in \triangle ABC and \triangle DEC, two angles are equal and side between them is also equal to each other.

Hence, proved that \triangle ABC \cong \triangle DEC.

irina1246 [14]
The answer is $9.50 because you need to take the total of the popcorn which is $16.50. Then subtract that from $45 and get $28.50. The last step to do is divide $28.50 by three to get your final answer= $9.50

The answer is= $9.50

Prove that (Root of Sec A - 1 / Root of Sec A + 1) + (Root of Sec A + 1 / Root of Sec A - 1) = 2 cosec A
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to prove that:

(Root of Sec A - 1 / Root of Sec A + 1) + (Root of Sec A + 1 / Root of Sec A - 1) = 2 cosec A.

Firstly, 1 / cos A = sec A, 1 / sin A = cosec A and tanA = sinA / cosA.

Also, 1 + tan²A = sec²A; sec²A - 1 = tan²A

\frac{\sqrt{secA-1} }{\sqrt{secA+1} } +\frac{\sqrt{secA+1} }{\sqrt{secA-1} } =\frac{(\sqrt{secA-1)}(\sqrt{secA-1})+(\sqrt{secA+1)}(\sqrt{secA+1}) }{(\sqrt{secA+1})(\sqrt{secA-1}) } \\\\=\frac{secA-1+(secA+1)}{\sqrt{sec^2A-secA+secA-1} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{\sqrt{sec^2A-1} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{\sqrt{tan^2A} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{tanA} \\\\=\frac{2*\frac{1}{cosA} }{\frac{sinA}{cosA} }\\\\= 2*\frac{1}{cosA}*\frac{cosA}{sinA}\\\\=2*\frac{1}{sinAA}\\\\=2cosecA
