Answer:

-5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope of line d. As we move from point (5, 2) to point (10, 10), x increases by 5 and y increases by 8. Thus, the slope of line d is

m = rise / run = 8/5.

Step 2: Find the negative reciprocal of this m = 8/5. Doing so will give us the slope of line e or of any other line perpendicular to line d:

Slope of line e: -(5/8) = -5/8

A town is roughly in the shape of a rectangle * 600 m by 270 m. What is the approximate area of the town in hectares?

Answer:

<h2>Area in Hectares = 16.2 hectares</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle: length × width

A = 600 × 270

A = 162,000 meters

162,000 meters ⇒ 16.2 hectares

-8x + 2x -16 < -5x + 7x<br><br> could you explain the answer

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x > -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you simplify both sides of the inequality by combining like terms

$-8x + 2x -16 < -5x + 7x$

$-6x - 16 < 2x$

Then, you add 6x to both sides in order to isolate x (bring all the Xs to one side)

$-6x - 16 + 6x < 2x + 6x$

$-16 < 8x$

Lastly, you divide by 8 in order to cancel out 8x solve for x. Since 8 is not a negative number, you DO NOT flip the sign.

$\frac{-16}{8} < \frac{8x}{8}$

$-2 < x$

I am currently working on Trigonometry, but unfortunately I am having a hard time. Here are some of my questions I've answered s

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\cfrac{\leftarrow adjacent=a}{\leftarrow hypotenuse=c}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\implies c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{3^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{6}=b$

now the root gives us the +/-, which is it? well, we know the sine is negative, so the "b" value must be negative, so it has to be -√6 = b

thus $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(\theta)=-\cfrac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$
