<h3>Your answer would be A, Line n has an undefined slope.</h3><h3 /><h3 />

The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the other line.

In this case, the slope of this line is just 0. It'll be better to think of it as instead of 0, something like 0/1, or 0/2, which are equivalent to 0 but work better with the explanation. I'm just going to use 0/1

Therefore, when you take the negative reciprocal of the slope of 0/1, then you end up with -1/0 as the slope of line n. When you divide by 0, the answer is always undefined. Therefore, the line has an undefined slope.

Another way to think about this is by thinking of Line m as a horizontal line. A line with a slope of 0 is just a horizontal line. Perpendicular lines are lines that meet at 90 degree angles. Therefore, the line that would meet with line m, line n, would be a vertical line. And since vertical lines have an undefined slope, line n would have an undefined slope.

Hope this helped!

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see that-

when, x=-3 ,  y=4

That is , the graph passes through   (-3 , 4)

So,

for  x=-3 ,

we get    y=4

So, the answer is    y=4

If a linear equation is written in the form y=1/2x-2 , which method could be used to graph the line represented by the equation?
sergey [27]

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation: the equation is written is slope- intersect form were -2 is the y intersect. the coordinate of the y intersect is (0,-2). the number in front of the x is the slope which is 1/2. so the answer is D.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

<em>Grades to be scored in 3rd exam = 88</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that average of 3 numbers is 85.

First two numbers are 81 and 86.

To find:

3rd number so that average is 85

Solution:

Let the third number = x

Formula for average is:

Average = \dfrac{Sum\ of\ numbers}{Total\ count\ of\ numbers}

Here, sum of numbers = 81+86+x =167+x

Total count of numbers = 3

85 = \dfrac{167+x}{3}\\\Rightarrow x=255-167\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=88}

<em>Grades to be scored in 3rd exam = 88</em>

Fine the domain and range of the relation, and indicate whether or not it is a function.<br> Y=2x+3
lilavasa [31]
It's a non-constant linear function, so both the domain and the range are all real numbers.
