<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!

Solve the equation thanks!
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

c = \frac{27}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate the fractions, multiply all terms by the lowest common multiple of 8 and 5

The lowest common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40

5 + 40c = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

40c = 27 ( divide both sides by 40 )

c = \frac{27}{40}

−5y+3x=3<br> −8y+9x=−12<br> ​<br> What is X and Y please.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

( -4, -3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve by elimination. Reason being there are no variables without coefficients.

−5y+3x=3     Multiply equation by 3. Each term.  

−8y+9x=−12

-15y + 9x = 9       Subtract the to equations

-8y  + 9x = -12

___________

-7y = 21

y = -3

Substitute y into original equation

-5(-3) + 3x = 3

15 + 3x = 3            Subtract 15 both sides

3x = -12                 Divide by 3, both sides

x = -4

A recipe calls for 2 1/2 Cups of flour and four eggs. If only three eggs are used, how many cups of flour should be used? Give y
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion

2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3

2 1/2 / 4 = x/3

Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or

5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2

Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X

Write as 4X = 15/2

Divide both sides by 4.

4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4

x = 15/2÷ 4/1

Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8

Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups
