Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

concept to know: the slope of perpendicular line is always opposite reciprocal

----------------------

Step 1. Find the slope of line t

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

=(4-9)/(10-7)

=-5/3

-------------------

Step 2. Apply the concept

Opposite reciprocal of (-5/3)=3/5

Hope this helps!! :)

How do you subtract -6 - (-7)? Can you explain it step by step too? Thanks!

djverab [1.8K]

$\bf -6-(-7)\implies -6-1(-7)\implies -6-1\cdot -7\implies -6+(-1\cdot -7)
\\\\\\
-6+(+7)\implies -6+7\implies 1$

Evaluate: 6-(2/3)^2 A. 17/3 B. 52/3 C. 49/9 D. 50/9

Komok [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is: "Option [D]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student, let me help you out!

....................................................................................................................................

Let's use the acronym PEMDAS. With the help of this little acronym, we will not make mistakes in the Order of Operations! :)

$\dag\textsf{Acronym \: PEMDAS}$

P=Parentheses,

E=Exponents,

M=Multiplication,

D=Division,

A=Addition,

S=Subtraction.

Now let's start evaluating our expression, which is $\mathsf{6-(\cfrac{2}{3})^2}$

According to PEMDAS, the operation that we should perform is "E-Exponents".

Notice that we have a fraction raised to a power. When this happens, we raise both the numerator (2 in this case) and the denominator (3 in this case) to that power, which is 2. After this we obtain $\mathsf{6-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ .

See, we raised both the numerator and the denominator to the power of 2.

Now what we should do is subtract fractions.

Note that 6 and -4/9 have unlike denominators. First, let's write 6 as a fraction: $\mathrm{\cfrac{6}{1}-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ . Now let's multiply the denominator and the numerator of the first fraction times 9: $\mathrm{\cfrac{54}{9}-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ .

See, now the fractions have the same denominator. All we should do now is subtract the numerators: $\mathrm{\cfrac{50}{9}}$ .
