The slope of AB is 2. 
Segmet AB is perpendicular to segment BC, and the slope of the perpendicular line  (segment AB) is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original or reference line (segment BC). The negative reciprocal of -1/2 is 2. Hope this helps.

we have that

ABC is a right triangle

so

AB is perpendicular to BC

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

m1*m2=-1

in this problem

mAB*mBC=-1

solve for mAB

mAB=-\frac{1}{mBC} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ mAB=2

therefore

the answer is

the slope of AB is equal to 2

Camila goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $9.20. A sales tax of 3% was added on. Camila tipped 19% on the amou
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$0.276

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Bill= $9.20

Tax= 3%

Tip= 19%

Let us find the amount of the tax and the tip

Tax

=3/100*9.20

=0.03*9.2

=$0.276

Amount after sales tax

= 0.276+9.20

=$9.476

Tip

=19/100*9.476

=0.19*9.476

=$1.80044

Therefore the sales tax

=$0.276

A rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 48 meters. Find the width of the room.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The width of the rectangular room =x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 48 meters.

To find: The width of the room.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular room= x meters, then the length of the rectangular room will be = 2x.

Now, Perimeter of rectangular room=2(l+b)

⇒48=2(2x+x)

⇒24=3x

⇒x=8 meters

Then, the width of the rectangular room =x= 8 meters and the breadth of the rectangular room=2x=2(8)=16 meters.
