If y=my+b is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=5x-2, what is the value of m

Mathematics

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The value of m would be -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the m of the second line, we need to find the slope of the first line, which is 5. Now, the perpendicular slope would be the opposite and reciprocal. So we take 5 and we negate it to -5. Now we flip it to get -1/5, which is the slope of the new line.

When i am solving for the sides of a right triangle when will i use trigonometric functions
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. We need to use trigonometric functions to find them when we don't have any angle other than 90 degree shown.

Three common trigonometric ratios are the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These are defined for acute angle.

However when we have one angle given with the 90 degree we can deduct without trigonometry but we would use all angles to find the hypotenuse or all angles to find the side of a right angle.

Alternatively, we cna do this with one given angle but if we have one, we might as well work out the other one without trigonometry and do a division with Sin = 25 (sin 35) sin 90  / sin 55

is one example when given the base 25ft that would find the hypotenuse or the length of elevation for buildings looking down or zip-wire questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

       A

       |  \

       l     \

4cm|        \ 5cm

       |          \

       |            \

   B | -  -  -  -  \ C      

          3cm

Suppose we wanted to find sin( A) in△ABC    

(The height of the wall in elevation questions would be used above the base shown 3cm at the start) Sin = 3 (sin 35)° sin 90°  / sin 55° to find the height side (4).

Sine is defined as the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

sin(A) =  hypotenuse          ​= AB/BC        = 3/5

             / opposite
