Answer:

The slope of line p is 1/3. The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slope of line p be m.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1 and the slope of two  parallel lines are same.

m_1\times m_2=-1

It is given that lines m and p are perpendicular. It means the product of slopes of m and p is -1. The slope of line m is -3.

-3\times m=-1

Divide both sides by -3.

m=\frac{-1}{-3}

m=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore the slope of line p is 1/3. The correct option is B.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

so if m1 = -3

the perpendicular line has a slope of 1/3

What is the value of x?
charle [14.2K]
Hey Rireneb!

This is a pretty simple Geometry question, so I will explain it in-depth for you to understand clearly! What you have displayed in the image is an isosceles triangle, meaning that both base angles are congruent (to each other). You know that the angle opposite to the base is 93.5, so you can subtract that from 180 and get 180-93.5=86.5
So, your base angles must be equal AND equal 86.5 when added up. So you must do the following, 86.5/2, which would get you to the answer 43.35. So, 43.25 is the value of each base angle, meaning that x = 43.25. Finally, the most appropriate answer to your question would be option 2!

Hope I was able to help! If you need any more help, please let me know and I will further assist you.
