Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, that is true.  Parallel lines have equal slopes and perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes (or opposite reciprocals, the "opposite" being the sign).

For this case we have by definition, that if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1. That is to say:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {m_ {1}}

This means that the slopes are negative reciprocals.

Answer:

The statement is true

Chris wants to fence three sides of a rectangular exercise yard for his dog. The fourth side of the exercise yard will be a side
Semmy [17]

Answer:

  • parallel: 60 ft
  • perpendicular: 30 ft
  • area: 1800 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the house. Then the length perpendicular is ...

  y = (120 -x)/2

The area of the yard is the product of these dimensions, so is ...

  A = xy = x(120-x)/2

This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=120. The maximum (vertex) is on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros, at x=60.

The fence parallel to the house is 60 feet.

The fence perpendicular to the house is (120-60)/2 = 30 feet.

The area of the yard is (60 ft)(30 ft) = 1800 ft^2.
