What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4? The slope of the line is ______?

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

<h2><em><u>2</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

${32}^{ \frac{1}{5} }$

$= \sqrt[5]{32}$

$= \sqrt[5]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}$

= <em><u>2</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>

The mirror is 5 feet in front of him and is approximately 40 feet from the base of the mountain. ∆ Jackson is 6’4” tall. Approxi

likoan [24]

The height of the top of the mountain is 50.67 feet

<h3>The mirror</h3>

Jackson placing the mirror in front of him will result in relations that have equivalent ratios.

<h3>Equivalent ratios</h3>

So, the equivalent ratios are represented as:

$5\ ft : 40 \ ft= 6'4" : x$

Where x represents the height of the mountain

Cancel out the common units

$5 : 40= 6'4" : x$

Express as fractions

$\frac{5 }{ 40}= \frac{6'4" }{ x}$

Make x the subject

$x = 6'4" \times \frac{40}{5}$

$x = 6'4" \times 8$

Multiply

$x = 48'\ 32"$

Convert the unit to feet

$x = 48' + \frac{32}{12}'$

$x = 48' + 2.67'$

$x = 50.67'$

Hence, the height of the top of the mountain is 50.67 feet
