Answer:

The two lines are not perpendicular because the product of their slopes is not equal to -1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

  • That means one of them is and additive and multiplicative inverse of the other
  • If the slope of one of them is m, then reciprocal m and change its sign, then the slope of the perpendicular is -\frac{1}{m}
  • The formula of the slope is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Let us find from the graph two points lie on each line and calculate the slopes of them and then find its product if the product is -1, then the two lines are perpendicular

From the graph

∵ The red line passes through points (4 , 0) and (0 , 8)

∴ x_{1} = 4 and x_{2} = 0

∴ y_{1} = 0 and y_{2} = 8

∵ m=\frac{8-0}{0-4}=\frac{8}{-4}=-2

∴ The slope of the red line is -2

∵ The blue line passes through points (5 , 5) and (0 , -5)

∴ x_{1} = 5 and x_{2} = 0

∴ y_{1} = 5 and y_{2} = -5

∵ m=\frac{-5-5}{0-5}=\frac{-10}{-5}=2

∴ The slope of the blue line is 2

∵ The products of the slopes of the two lines = -2 × 2 = -4

∴ The product of the slopes of the lines not equal -1

∴ The two lines are not perpendicular

Sum of three like fractions is 18/11. the first 2 fractions are 1/11 and 9/11. find the third fraction.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

\frac{8}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the fractions are like, their denominators are 11, then

consider the values that sum to give 18 , that is

1 + 9 + ? = 18

10 + ? = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

? = 8

Then the third fraction is \frac{8}{11}

The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2r. Which is an equivalent equation solved for r? r = C r = C(2
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

r equals StartFraction C Over 2 pi EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=2\pi r

where

r is the radius of the circle

Solve for r

That means -----> isolate the variable r

Divide by 2π both sides

\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}

Simplify right side

\frac{C}{2\pi}=r

Rewrite

r=\frac{C}{2\pi}

so

r equals StartFraction C Over 2 pi EndFraction
