Mathematics

Answer:  

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is -\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

Solve for "y" from the equation of the line 2x - 3y - 5 = 0:

2x - 3y - 5 = 0\\\\-3y=-2x+5\\\\y=\frac{-2}{-3}x+\frac{5}{-3}\\\\y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}

You can observe that the slope of this line is:

m=\frac{2}{3}

By definition, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal, then, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the give line, is

m=-\frac{3}{2}

How many sides would there be in a convex polygon if the sum of all but one of its interior angles is $1070^{\circ}$
Gwar [14]

Convex Polygon:

A polygon is called a convex polygon when no line segments between the points, goes inside. The boundaries of the convex polygon do not go inside and all the vertices are pointed outside away from the center. The interior angles of a convex polygon are less than 180°.

Lets simplify the given problem,

If we try using 1070 degrees as the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon, we get:

1070 =[n - 2] x 180, where n = number of sides

1070 =180n - 360180n =1070+360180n =1430n = 1430 / 180

n = 7.94 number of sides. Since this is not a whole number, will simply round it up to 8.

Hence the number of sides is 8
