Answer:

Perpendicular line would have a slope in the form:

$- \frac{1}{m}$

So it has to be:

$- \frac{5}{2}$

Good luck.

Answer:

-5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the original line

= -1 / 2/5

= -5/2.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Domain of C={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Range of C={24,28,32,36,40,44}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jenna knits scarves and sells them on Etsy an online market place.

$C(x)=4x+20$

Where C=Represents the cost in dollars

x=Number of scarves produced.

We have to find the domain and range of C.

Substitute x=1

$C(1)=4(1)+20=$ $24

Substitute x=2

$C(2)=4(2)+20=$ $28

$C(3)=4(3)+20=$ $32

$C(4)=4(4)+20=$ $36

$C(5)=4(5)+20=$ $40

$C(6)=4(6)+20=$ $44

Therefore, Domain of C={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Range of C={24,28,32,36,40,44}

In the diagram, PN¯¯¯¯¯ is the perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯ and is also the angle bisector of ∠CPD. If m∠CPD = x, which qua

zaharov [31]

Since ∠CPD = x and segment PN is the angle bisector of this angle, therefore segment PN equally divides ∠CPD into two angles. Which means that:

∠CPN = ∠NPD = x / 2

Further, segment PN is also the perpendicular bisector of AB which further means that the intersection formed by PN and AB creates a right angle (90°). Therefore:

∠NPD + ∠DPB = 90°

x/2 + ∠DPB = 90°

∠DPB = 90 – x/2

Therefore:

sin∠<span>DPB = sin(90 – x/2) which is not in the choices</span>

However we know that the relationship of sin and cos is:

sin(π/2 - θ) = cos θ

Where,

π/2 = 90

θ = x/2

Therefore:

sin(90 – x/2) = cos(x/2)

Dovator [93]

Answer:2.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The current fence height id 2 m

The gardener is told that he must increase the height of his fence by 40%

so new height is $2+2\times 40$ %

$=2+2\times 0.4$

$=2\left ( 1+.4\right )$

$=2\left ( 1.4\right )$

$=2.8 m$

noah and kate are shopping for new guitar strings in a music store. Noah buys 2 packs of strings. Kate buys 2 packs of strings a

marin [14]

One pack of strings is $14. This is because 72-16=56. I subtracted the 16 because it is how much the book cost, so it does not have anything to do with the amount one pack of strings cost. Then, I divided 56 by 4 which equals 14. I divided 56 by 4 because the question is how much one pack is, and Noah and Kate bought a total of 4 packs. This proves that one pack of strings costs $14.

Hope this helps you!
