Line p and q are perpendicular if the slope of line p is 2 what is the slope of line q

1 answer:

6 0

The slope is negative one half because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are opposite reciprocals

meaning not only are they reciprocals meaning 1 over the number (or flipping the numerator and the denominator of a fraction) you also change the sign

Write a proportion you could use to convert 2.5 gallons to quarts.

marusya05 [52]

We know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so how many quarts in 2.5 gallons anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
quarts&gallons\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
4&1\\
x&2.5
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{4}{x}=\cfrac{1}{2.5}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2.5}{1}=x$
