Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>

1. A field in the form of a parallelogram has one
klio [65]

Answer:

420m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of diagonal = 42m

Lenght of outlying vertice = 10 m

Area of paralellogram = 2 " (area of triangle)

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Hence,

Area of parallelogram :

Area = 2(0.5 * 42 * 10)

Area = 2 (210)

Area = 420m²
