The product of the slopes would be -1 because the slopes of two lines that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals (ex. 2 and -1/2 multiplied together would be -1)

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment shows the labeling according to the problem statement.

The overall length is the sum of the constituent segment lengths, so ...

FG + GH = FH

(10 +x) +(7) = (2x +26)

x +17 = 2x +26

x -9 = 2x

-9 = x

<em>Check</em>

Then the segment length FG is ...

10 +x = 10 -9 = 1

and the overall length is ...

2x +26 = 2(-9) +26 = -18 +26 = 8

That is, 1 + 7 = 8.

Lerok [7]

Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of $\frac{1}{3}$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question: A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes. The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes. Which proportion represents the situation?

We have , A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes , i.e.

Number of beef stew calls = 1

Number of potatoes = 3

Now , The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes i.e. for every 2 pounds of beef we have 6 potatoes

⇒ $2/6$
