For most of them you can use a fraction simplifier calculator but so far i have b) 21/2 c) 203/2
Answer: Options 1, 3, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so since the slope of the given line is 1/3, we need to find lines with a slope of -3.
- Option 1 has a slope of -3.
- Option 2 has a slope of 3.
- Option 3 has a slope of -3.
- Option 4 has a slope of 1/3.
- If we subtract 3x from both sides, we get y=-3x+7, so option 5 has a slope of -3.

Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
