Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The slope of a line is \dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that the product of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let m be the slope of  line that is perpendicular to given line.

Then,we have :-

m\times\dfrac{1}{2}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=-2

Hence, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line =-2

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. So if 1 slope has a slope of 1/2, then its perpendicular line has a slope of -2/1 or just -2

1. You will have to find the height first which could be done by using pythagoras theorem

split the 12 by half giving 6
a^2 = b^2 + c^2
13^2 = 6^2+c^2
169 = 36+c^2
c^2=169-36
c^2=133
c=sqrt133
c= 11.53

1/2 x b x h
1/2 x 6 x 11.53

Answer:

points (8, 0) and (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're being asked to find the roots of this quadratic equation.

Set f(x) = 3(x² - 11x + 24 = 0.

This factors into f(x) = 3(x - 8)(x - 3) = 0.

Then x - 8 = 0 and x - 3 = 0, yielding x = 8 and x = 3.  These correspond to the points (8, 0) and (3, 0).
