Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: -3/2

Discussion: Assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1. We are told the slope of a line is 2/3. The slope of the perpendicular line, "m", is

m * (2/3) = -1

m= -3/2

Thank you,

MrB

How to solve 10m-2/5=48/5

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10m-2/5=9 and 3/5

10m-2/5=9.6 (where 9 and 3/5 is equal to 9.6)

50m-2=48 (i multiplied 10m by 5 and 9.6 by 5)

50m=50 ( i added 2 to both sides)

m=1 ( i divided by 50 to both sides to find m)

HELP PLZ PICK ONE OF THE ONES SHOWN:

I am doing with Question Number 2

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.

According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.

$x \times y=14$

So, xy=14 (Equation 1)

Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.

So, $x = 3\frac{1}{2}\times y$

$x=\frac{7}{2}y$ (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

$\frac{7}{2}y \times y = 14$

$\frac{7}{2}y^{2} = 14$

$y^{2} = 4$

So, y= 2 and -2

So, $x=\frac{14}{2}$ and $x=\frac{14}{-2}$

x=7 and -7

Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.

Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9

Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.
