Answer: The slope of the red line is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For perpendicular slopes, use the reciprocal of the given slope and reverse the sign (additve inverse)

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. Reverse from positive to negative so you have -1/2

Ashley found 2 boxes of sugar in the kitchen. The green box is 1.26 kg and the red box is 1.026 kg. Which box contains more suga

Anni [7]

Answer:

Answer:

Green box contains more sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Ashley found 2 boxes of sugar in the kitchen.

The green box says 1.26 kg and the red box says 1.026 kg.

we need to find which box contains more sugar.

To find this we will first check the digit at ones place.

Both the digit has 1 at the ones place. So now check the digit at tenths place.

1.26 has 2 at tenths place while 1.026 has 0 at tenths place.

As we know 2 is greater than 0, thus the number 1.26 is greater than 1.026.

Hence, green box contains more sugar.

Is the following relation linear, quadratic, or cubic? If it is linear, find the equation. Explain your reasoning and include al

Sergio [31]

The given relation is linear. Equation of the linear function; (Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m Or Y= 1/2x +2.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1.

The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.

Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

WE have given R = {(x, y) : (2,3), (4,4), (6,5), (8,6), ...}

Let's use these two points to determine both the slope and the equation;

(2, 3), (4,4)

Slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Slope= (4-3)/(4-2)

Slope= 1/2

Then Equation of the linear function;

(Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m

(Y-3)/(x-2)= 1/2

2(y-3) = x-2

2y -6 = x-2

2y= x-2+6

2y= x+4

Y= 1/2x +2

Hence, the given relation is linear. Equation of the linear function; (Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m Or Y= 1/2x +2.

Triangle ABC had a perimeter 18 cm

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Use pythagoreum theorem to determine whether it is or isn't since I'm not really sure myself but here's my calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find AC.

Picture a triangle called ABC. AB is one side and BC the other while AC is the hypotenuse.

AC=

$ac = \sqrt{ab ^{2} + {bc}^{2} } \\ ac = \sqrt{ {7}^{2} } + {3}^{2} \\ ac = \sqrt{49 + 9} \\ ac = \sqrt{58 } \\ ac = 7.6$

Round up the 7.6 to a whole number and you get AC=8. To get perimeter of a triangle simply add the sides together to get 18.

Not really sure about my answer but hope this helped.

1. m – 7 < 6 A) m < –1 B) m > 1 C) m < 13 <---------------------- D) m < –13 2. x + 4.5 ≥ 5.5 A) x ≥ 10 B) x ≥

ikadub [295]

1) m - 7 < 6
Add 7 to the both sides,
m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7
m < 13

So, Option C is your answer for this part.

2) x+4.5 ≥ 5.5
Subtract 4.5 from both sides,
x ≥ 1

So, Option B is your answer for this part.

3) p +12 > 9
Subtract 12 from the both sides,
p > -3

So, Option D is your answer for this part.

4) x - 5 ≥ 9
So, Option A is your answer for this part

Hope this helps!
