Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y = 3x - 7 is 3.

3x + 9y = 9 → 9y = -3x + 9 → y = -1/3 x + 1 so its slope is -1/3.

This means that they are perpendicular because the product of their slopes is -1.

Tony buys a burger for $3 and a bottle of juice for $1.50 every day. Which expression shows the total amount he would spend on h

fomenos

It would be $22.50, because if you buy a burger for $3 and you get it for a 5 day period which would be $15. And then if you buy a juice for $1.50 for 5 days would be $7.50. So you would add $15 and $7.50 would be $22.50 for the whole 5 days.

A triangle has a base of x 1/2 m and a height of x 3/4 m. If the area of te triangle is 16m to the power of 2, what are the base

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The base of triangle is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m$ and the height of triangle is $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A triangle has a base of x 1/2 m and a height of x 3/4 m. If the area of the triangle is 16m to the power of 2.

Now, to find the base and height of the triangle.

The base of triangle = $x\times\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x}{2} \ m.$

The height of triangle = $x\times \frac{3}{4} =\frac{3x}{4}\ m.$

The area of triangle = $16\ m^2.$

Now, we put the formula of area to solve:

$Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height$

$16=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{2} \times \frac{3x}{4}$

$16=\frac{3x^2}{16}$

Multiplying both sides by 16 we get:

$256=3x^2$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$\frac{256}{3} =x^2$

Using square root on both sides we get:

$\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}=x$

$x=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}$

Now, by substituting the value of $x$ to get the base and height:

$Base=\frac{x}{2}\\\\Base=\frac{\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}}{2} \\\\Base=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

So, the base of triangle = $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

$Height=x\times\frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Thus, the height of triangle = $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Therefore, the base of triangle is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m$ and the height of triangle is $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

How to solve this question

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

7x+21 = 7x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x+3)=6-(-7x - 15)

L.H.S

=7(x+3)

=7x+21 (multiply 7 by (x+3))

R.H.S:

=6-(-7x - 15)

= 6+7x+15 (multiply the -ive sign in the bracket)

= 7x + 21 ( adding 15 and 6)

now compare the two sides

7x+21 = 7x + 21 hence we prove that L.H.S= R.H.S
