Answer:

No; the slopes of segment EF and segment DF are not opposite reciprocals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between two points O(e, f) and X (g,h) is given as:

slope\ of\ |OX|=\frac{h-f}{g-e}

The slopes of segment EF and segment DF are given below:

slope\ of\ |EF|=\frac{0-2}{0-(-2)}=-1\\\\slope\ of\ |DF|=\frac{0-(-2)}{0-(-1)}=2\\

For triangle DEF to be a right triangle, DF and EF are supposed to be perpendicular to each other. Two line are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1, i.e the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal (opposite reciprocal) of the other line.

Since the slope of DF and EF are not opposite reciprocals,  ΔDEF is not a right triangle.

I think it is: y=0.375x+3.125

a=(5-2)/(5- -3)=3/8=0.375

Find b

(5)=0.375(5)+b
(5)=1.875+b
5-1.875=b
b=3.125

jake makes 9 loaves of olive bread. he uses 30 grams of olives in each loaf.he started with 1 kilogram of olives.how many grams
8090 [49]
Considering that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams and he made 9 loaves of bread using 30 grams each time, that equates to 270 grams of olives. 1000 - 270 = 730. Your answer is 730 grams of olives remain. Hope this helped.
