Answer:

The lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

For a couple of points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) the formula to calculate the slope of a line is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal, but if two lines of slopes m_1 and m_2 are perpendicular then it is true that:

m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}

For the points (–6, –1) and (–11, 1) the slope of the line is:

m_1=\frac{1-(-1)}{-11-(-6)}=-\frac{2}{5}

For the points (–3, –8) and (–5, –13) the slope of the line is:

m_2=\frac{-13-(-8)}{-5-(-3)}=\frac{5}{2}

Note that m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}

So the lines are perpendicular

The two are perpendicular to each other because the two slopes are negative reciprocals

(Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

First slope:
( 1 - (-1)) / (-11 - (-6))
2/-5

Second slope:
(-13 - (-8)) / (-5 - (-3))
-5/-2 or 5/2

You know when two aliens are perpendicular when you multiply the two slopes and get -1 as the product

-2/5 X 5/2 = -1

Thus the two lines are perpendicular to each other.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

<h2>a) 120 ways</h2><h2>b) 6 unique ways</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question will be solved using the permutation formula since are arranging. <u>Permutation deals with arrangement.</u>

If there we are to arrange n objects taking 'r' at a time, this can be done in nPr ways.

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

a) If you therefore have 6 reindeer, Prancer, Rudy, Balthazar, Quentin, Jebediah, and Lancer, and you want to have 3 fly your sleigh. Since they are in a single file line, This can be done in 6P3 number of ways.

6P3 = \frac{6!}{(6-3)!}\\ 6P3 = \frac{6!}{3!}\\ 6P3 = \frac{6*5*4*3!}{3!} \\6P3 = 6*5*4\\6P3 = 120\ ways

b) The number of unique ways to arrange the letters in the word DEN is 3! ways since there are only 3 letters in the word.

3! = 3*2*1

3! = 6ways

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

w=3 1\4

Step-by-step explanation:

A=LxW

a=14 1\12

l=4 1\3

w=?

14 1\12=4 1\3 x w

14 1\12 divided by 4 1\3=13\4=3 1\4

w=3 1\4

The hypotenuse can be solved by this formula. X^2 = 6^2 +6^2

X^2=64
Usually you cut it down to 8 but it wants the squared form so 64.
