The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines (excluding vertical lines) always equals -1.

Mathematics
1 answer:
andriy [413]4 years ago

This is true.  The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to the negative reciprocal.  This means that you "flip" the fraction and multiply by negative 1.  Since the reciprocal is also the multiplicative inverse (something you multiply by a number to get 1), and the signs are different (one is positive, one is negative) it equals -1.


Hope this helps!

I realise this is quite late but in case you still wanted the answer, the width is 3m.

If the length is 3m longer than the width, you can write the width as x and the length as x + 3. The perimeter would be both lengths and both widths added together, so you would just write it as:
x + x + x + 3 + x + 3 = 18
4x + 6 = 18
- 6
4x = 12
÷ 4
x = 3

I hope this helps!

Solve the following equation for x.<br> 3x - 9 = -42
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11
