<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!

How many solutions do you think the equation -10x+3=5x-27 has? Explain. Then, find the solution(s).
deff fn [24]
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).

1/4 inch cubes were used to fill a prism. The dimensions of the prism are 1.5 inches x 1 inch x 3.75 inches. How many 1/4 inch c
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

B) 360 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by finding how many cubes fit into the length of the prism (1.5 in) which is 6 cubes for 1.5 in/ 0.25 in = 6.

Then we can find the number of cubes to fit the width of the prism (1 in) which is 4 cubes for 1 in/ 0.25 in = 4.

Finally we find that 15 cubes fit the height (3.75 in) for 3.75 in/ 0.25 in = 15 cubes.

Multiplying the together, we get 6*4*15=<u><em>360</em></u> or <u><em>B</em></u>
