Which pair of lines are perpendicular

Mathematics

kupik [55]3 years ago

Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes multiply to -1. That means we have to look at each individual answer and see if the slopes multiply to -1.


y = 2x - 1 has a slope of 2


2y = -x + 3

y = -1/2x + 3 This has a slope of -1/2.


2 * -1/2 = -1.


Since the slopes of these lines multiply to -1, the answer is A. Since we have our answer, we don't have to do anything else.

The answer is A. A perpendicular equation will have the opposite and reciprocal slope as the original equation.


Once converted to the slope-intercept form of y = mx+b, we find the two equations for A are y = 2x-1 and y = (-1/2)x + 3/2. The opposite reciprocal of the first equation's slope (m in the equation form given) is -1/2, which as you can see if the slope of the other equation.

What is the length of the other diagonal DF?<br> 5 cm<br> 16 cm <br> 21 cm <br> 32 cm
frez [133]
To solve this you need to know Pythagorean theorem.

First, EG is 24, so the halfway points are 12. Knowing Pythagorean triples, you can use 5,12,13 and 12,16,20.

DF = 5+16
DF = 21

If you don't know Pythagorean triples, I have worked it out on the image attached.

What is the range of the function y = x 2?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The range of the function y = x2 is all real numbers, y, such that y ≥ 0. In the case of the function y = x2, the domain consists of all real numbers, because there is no number that, when plugged in for x into x2, would create an undefined expression.

What is the minimum value of the function g(x) = x2 - 6x – 12?<br> -21<br> 3-21<br> 3<br> 3+21
balandron [24]

Answer:

- 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the function

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

f(x) = x² - 6x - 12

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 - 12

     = (x - 3)² - 21

with vertex = (3, - 21 )

The minimum is the value of k, that is minimum value = - 21
