Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply together to equal -1

Let the slope of the perpendicular line be p

a/b * p = -1

Multiply each side by b/a so we can isolate p

a/b * b/a * p = -1 * b/a

p = -b/a

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

What is the volume of this triangular Pyramid photo attached
storchak [24]

To find the volume of a triangular pyramid, the formula is:

V=\frac{1}{3}(Area\text{ }of\text{ }thebase)(height)

So we start by finding the area of the base, which is in the shape of a right triangle in this case.

The area of a right triangle is equal to 1/2 x base x height.

\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}bh \\  \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(5)(6) \\  \\ A=15\text{ square feet} \end{gathered}

We use this area to find the volume.

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}Ah \\  \\ V=\frac{1}{3}(15)(6) \\  \\ V=30\text{ cubic feet} \end{gathered}

The volume of the triangular pyramid is 30 cubic feet.
