The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.

The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.

Comparing equation y-4 = 5/2(x+3) with slope-point form y-y1=m(x-x1), slope of given line is 5/2. Let m' be the slope of required line. product of the slope of perpendicular lines is equal to -1. Therefore, mxm' = -1. m' = -2/5. Using slope-point form to find the equation of required line, y-y1 = m(x-x1) . y-8 = -2/5(x-(-7)). y-8 = -2/5(x+7).

Student to faculty ratio is 17:3 total for bo th h is 740. How many students and how many faculty
svetlana [45]

We can represent 17:3 with 17x and 3x

17x + 3x = 740

20x = 740

x = 37

17(37):3(37)

629 students and 111 school faculty members.

A circle is sometimes/always/never
grigory [225]

A circle is always similar to another circle, because we can always map one onto the other using only dilations and rigid transformations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two Circles are said to be similar if all the linear measurements of the circles are proportional.

Lets consider if  two circles have a certain ratio of their radii, , it definitely mean that  all the other corresponding ratios will also have that same ratio.

<u>Concentric circles are defined as the  circles which have a  common center. The area between the  two concentric circles having  difference in their  radii is Known  as annulus.</u>

<u></u>

The most important property of a circle is that all  points on the circle are equidistant (i.e. having the same distance) from the center point.

<u>A circle is always similar to another circle, because we can always map one onto the other using only dilations and rigid transformations.</u>
