Line A has an equation of y=-2/5x + 3. What is the slope of a line perpendicular

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{2}{5} x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{2}{5} } = \frac{5}{2}

In Exercises 10–14, use the diagram to determine whether you can assume the<br> statement.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

  it depends on what he means

Step-by-step explanation:

The friend needs to clarify the meaning of "if three lines intersect each other." If Line A intersects lines B and C, there will be two points of intersection, one at line B and one at line C.

If those lines are all in the same plane, and B and C are not parallel, so that line B intersects line C, then there will be a total of three points of intersection.

If the point of intersection of B and C is also the point where line A intersects them, then there will be only one point of intersection.

__

So, if the meaning is "if there are three non-parallel lines in the same plane, and each intersects the other two", then the Line Intersection Postulate guarantees there will be 1 or 3 points of intersection.

If the meaning is "if there are three lines not necessarily in the same plane, and one intersects the other two (but those two don't intersect each other)", then there may be 1 or 2 points of intersection (allowing that all lines may intersect at the same point).

What are the scale factor of ABC dilated to XYZ plz help
jekas [21]
<h3>Answer:  B) 2/3</h3>

====================================

Explanation:

The order is important for ABC and XYZ so we can see what letters pair up.

  • A pairs with X since they are the first letters
  • B pairs with Y since they are the second letters
  • C pairs with Z since they are the third letters

Based on that, we can see that AB pairs with XY as they are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively.

Divide the length XY over AB and reduce

XY/AB = 10/15 = 2/3

We could also divide XZ over AC

XZ/AC = 14/21 = 2/3

and we get the same ratio
