<h3>Answer:  -7/10</h3>

Explanation:

The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the original. That means you flip the fraction to get from 10/7 to 7/10, then you flip the sign from positive to negative, going from 7/10 to -7/10.

Your math teacher or textbook may use the phrasing "flip the fraction and flip the sign" as a way to help you remember.

Note how 10/7 times -7/10 is equal to -1. This applies to any pair of perpendicular slopes as long as neither line is vertical.

If f(1) = 160 and f(n+ 1) = -2f(n), what is f(4)?
sertanlavr [38]
F(1) = 160 is given to us. We'll use it to find f(2)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(1+1) = -2*f(1) ... replace every n with 1
f(1+1) = -2*160 ... replace f(1) with 160
f(2) = -320

Now use f(2) to find f(3)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(2+1) = -2*f(2) ... replace every n with 2
f(3) = -2*(-320) ... replace f(2) with -320
f(3) = 640

Finally, use f(3) to find f(4)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(3+1) = -2*f(3) ... replace every n with 3
f(4) = -2*640 ... replace f(3) with 640
f(4) = -1280

Final Answer: -1280

How do you solve a/7+5/7=2/7
Anton [14]
\frac{a}{7} + \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{a + 5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} \\ 7(\frac{a + 5}{7}) = 7(\frac{2}{7})
a + 5 = 2
a + 5 - 5 = 2 - 5
a = -3

Hope this helps! :)
