1 answer:

7 0

For
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(1,-4)
(4,2)
x1=1
y1=-4
x2=4
y2=2

slope=(2-(-4))/(4-1)=(2+4)/3=6/3=2

slope=2

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

L=16 W=7

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2(L+W)

L=2W+2

46=2(2W+2)+2W

(((7×2)+2)=16×2=32

(16-2)/2=7×2=14

32+14=46 or 16+16+7+7=46

A swimming pool can be filled in 18 hours if water enters through a pipe alone, or in 25 hours if water enters through a hose a

pychu [463]

I am not sure, but this is what I got:
<span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours

Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool

Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool

TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450

TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours

So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR

8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER

If you meant to write y=23x-4 then none of the lines are perpendicular.

I suspect you intended y=2/3x-4, then line D, y=-3/2x-4 is perpendicular.

For any line y=mx+b, you have to "invert" m to get a perpendicular line. Inverting in this case means: flip numerator and denominator and add a minus sign.

So 2/3 becomes -3/2, hence answer D.

The 'inverted' m is called the opposite reciprocal. That's your word of the day.
