Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Here we are given the line y = -(1/5)x - 9. The slope is (-1/5). The negative reciprocal of this is +5. That's the answer you wanted.

A digital camera costs $185 and the sales tax rate is 5.7%. What is the total cost of the camera after tax

Dovator [93]

♥ To solve find how much this will cost AFTER the price increases.
♥ Solve:
Multiply the original price as it is by: 1.057 (5.7 as a decimal would be 0.057, but as i said to keep the original price, the 1 will keep it there.)
 $185 * 1.057 = $195.545$
Final answer: $195.54

How many numbers greater than zero and less than 50 equal the product of two consecutive positive integers?

spin [16.1K]

Consecutive numbers would be like 2 and 3, or 7 and 8.

All we need to do is keep multiplying pairs of consecutive numbers until we get above 50.

1 × 2 = 2 (that's one.)
2 × 3 = 6 (two)
3 × 4 = 12 (three)
4 × 5 = 20 (four)
5 × 6 = 30 (five)
6 × 7 = 42 (six...)
7 × 8 = 56 > 50
We have a total of 6 numbers that equal the product of 2 consecutive intergers
