Answer:

Yes, the lines are perpendicular because the product of their slopes equals -1 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1

So to prove that the lines are perpendicular let us find their slopes

The rule of the slope is:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} , where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line

∵ Line M passes through points (2, -5) and (4, -3)

∴ x1 = 2 and x2 = 4

∴ y1 = -5 and y2 = -3

→ By using the rule of the slope above

∴ m=\frac{-3-(-5)}{4-2}=\frac{-3+5}{2}=\frac{2}{2}

∴ The slope of line M is 1

∵ Line N passes through points (-4, -8) and (-6, -6)

∴ x1 = -4 and x2 = -6

∴ y1 = -8 and y2 = -6

→ By using the rule of the slope above

∴ m=\frac{-6-(-8)}{-6-(-4)}=\frac{-6+8}{-6+4}=\frac{2}{-2}

∴ The slope of line N is -1

∵ 1 × -1 = -1

∴ The product of the slopes of lines M and N is -1

∴ Lines M and N are perpendicular

∴ Yes, the lines are perpendicular because the product of their

   slopes equals -1.

Solve |z| > (1/2)
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

{z|z}U{z|z>\frac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality |z| > \frac{1}{2} you need to set up two posibilities:

FIRST POSIBILITY : z>\frac{1}{2}

SECOND POSIBILTY: z

Therefore, you got that:

z\frac{1}{2}

Knowing this, you can write the solution obtained in Set notation. This is:

Solution: {z|z}U{z|z>\frac{1}{2}}

A rectangular pyramid has a height of 15 cm. What is the volume of the rectangular pyramid in cubic feet?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The answer is 360

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the volume of a rectangular based pyramid is 1/3 times the base area times the height and the height is given as 15 cm the base parameters are 9 and 8 respectively so deep area of the rectangular base is 9 * 8 * 15 that is 1080 x 1/3 which is 360

At a shelter, 15% of the dogs are puppies. there are 60 dogs at the shelter. How many are puppies?
frutty [35]
So for this you need to find 15% of 60. There are a few ways to do this but I prefer to do it like this.

First, find 10% of 60. This can be found by dividing 60 by 10, because 100%/10% is 10.

This gives 10%=6

5% is half of 10%, so divide your answer for 10% (6), by 2.

This gives 5%=3

We needed 15%, so we add our 10% and 5% together, to get 9.

15% of 60 is 9, meaning there are 9 puppies.

Hope this helps!

K= 1/2mv^2<br> Solve for V
jeyben [28]

Hi there!

v = ±\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }

- - - - - - - - -

K = 1/2mv²

Isolate for the variable "v". We can begin by dividing both sides by 1/2. (Multiply by the reciprocal, or 2):

2 · K = 2 · (1/2mv²)

2K = mv²

Continue isolating by dividing both sides by "m":

2K / m = v²

Take the square root of both sides. Remember that the solution can either be positive or negative since there are positive and negative roots.

v = ±\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }
