Perpendiculare lines have slopes that multiply to -1

find slope
given (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the slope would be (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so

given
(7,-11) and (8,17)
slope=(17-(-11))/(8-7)=(17+11)/1=28

28 times what=-1
divide by 24
what=-1/28

slope is -1/28

answer is B

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2+5x+7=0

koban [17]

Given a quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , we define the discriminant as

$\Delta = b^2-4ac$

The number of real solutions of the equation depend on the sign of $\Delta$ :

If $\Delta>0$ the equation has two solutions
If $\Delta=0$ the equation has one double solution
If $\Delta$ the equation has no real solutions

In this case, we have

$\Delta = 25-28=-3$

And so this equation has no real solutions.

A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1260 feet. The length is 100 feet more than width. Find the width and length of the r

lyudmila [28]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is:

$P=2L+2W$

Where $L$ is the length and $W$ is the width.

2. The length is $100ft$ more than the width, therefore:

$L=W+100$

3. Substitute values into the formula for calculate the perimeter and solve for the width:

$1260=2(W+100)+2W\\ W=265ft$

3. Then, the length is:

$L=265ft+100ft\\ L=365ft$

The answer is: The length is $365ft$ and the width is $265ft$
