What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line? Y=-1/4x+5

Mathematics
1 answer:
IRISSAK [1]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two perpendicular lines must have a slope that multiplies to -1. With this in mind, we take the slope from the given equation, -1/4, and add multiply it by a variable new slope, z. We get the equation -1=-1/4z

Working it out:

-1=-1/4z

-1/-1/4=-1/4z/-1/4 (The two -1/4's on the right cancel out, leaving us with just z on the right side. -1 divided by -1/4 is equal to 4)

4=z

The slope of your line perpendicular to the given line is 4.

A trick for me to remember this is the answer for a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal. Add a negative sign to the number and flip it. It will never be wrong if worked out correctly. I can help you with this strategy more if you ask.

A Relation Is Shown In The Graph Below. Write Out The Ordered Pairs For The Inverse, And Determine If The Inverse Is A Function
Alexus [3.1K]
The 2nd selection is correct.

_____
If your relation has some point (x1, y1), the inverse relation has the point (y1, x1). For example, one of the points of your relation is (-1, 0), so (0, -1) will be a point in the inverse relation.

A relation is a function if it does not contain two or more points with the same x-value.

(The relation shown in the graph is NOT a function, but its inverse relation IS a function.)

The dot plot below shows the number of cakes 31 chefs made in a week: Dot plot labeled Number of Cakes Made shows 4 dots over 1,
Paraphin [41]
The median, because the data is not symmetric and there are outliers is the data is not symmetric and there are outliers.

The median of the data set is 8 cakes, while the average is 7.5.

However, 21 of the 31 chefs, or roughly 2/3, made 8 or more cakes. This makes the median a better center for this data, since the data is clearly skewed. The four chefs that made 1 cake each brings the average down, skewing the mean and making the median a better representation of the data.

Ksju [112]

d=37\

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

Here , we have In August, Cory begins school shopping for his triplet daughters. One day, he  bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each and 3 pairs of shoes for d dollars each.  He spent a total of $135.97. We need to find What does d equal . Let's find out:

One day, he  bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ Money = 10(2.50)

⇒ Money = 25\

3 pairs of shoes for d dollars each

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ Money = 3(d)

⇒ Money = 3d\

He spent a total of $135.97

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ Total-Money = 135.97

⇒ 25+3d=135.97

⇒ 3d=135.97-25

⇒ d=37\

Therefore , d=37\ .
