Ok since your given two points of (-5,2) and origin which is always (0,0) you can find the slope with this formula of y2-y1/x2-x1 plug them in the formula and you should get 0-2/0-5 which is equal to -2/-5 or 2/5 negative signs cancel out now you found your slope but remember the promblem was asking for perpendicular slope to get this you simply flip or reciprocate the slope and take take the opposite sign in our case the slope is 2/5 but the perpendicular version is -5/2 hope this helps.

(5,65) (7,71) slope

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is m=y2-y1/x2-x1

y2 is 71

y1 is 65

x2 is 7

x1 is 5

71-65 is 6

7-5 is 2

So the slope looks like this:

6/2

Simplify:

Which is 3

2. If f(x) = x - 7 and g(x) = 2x + 5, then what is f(x) * g(x)?

AysviL [449]

Answer:

2x² - 9x - 35

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) × g(x) = (x - 7)(2x + 5)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x + 5) - 7(2x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 5x - 14x - 35 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - 9x - 35
