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

4. what is the value of x?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4. 21

5.120

Step-by-step explanation:

(the answer for #4

I added 5x+15 and 3x-3

and got

8x+12

and because we needed to find the value of x, l did this

8x+12=180

because interior consecutive angles equal 180

and I got 21

(answer for 5)

I then plugged 21 into 5x+15 because angle 1 is equal to it

5(21)+15

I got 120
