The product of the perpendicular lines is a negative one. Then the value of p will be negative 3.75.
<h3>What is coordinate geometry?</h3>
Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space. Using this, it is possible to find the distance between the points, the dividing line is m:n ratio, finding the mid-point of the line, etc.
Given the points K(-2,5), L(1,3) and M(-5, 2p).
If KL is perpendicular to LM. Then we have
The slope of KL will be
KL = (1+2)/(3-5)
KL = -1.5
The slope of LM will be
LM = (1+6)/(3-2p)
LM = 7/(3-2p)
We know the product of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.
KL x ML = -1
-1.5 x 7/(3-2p) = -1
-10.5 = -3 + 2p
2p = -7.5
p = -3.75

You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.
Answer:
80 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
length of pool = 22 , width of pool = 18
feet required for fencing the pool = 2 (l +b)
= 2 ( 22+18)
=2*40
=80feet
The next greater tenth is 14.7
The next smaller tenth is 14.5
Neither of them is nearer to 14.6 than 14.6 already is.
So 14.6 is already the nearest tenth.
