Answer: -1/2, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 , y=2x-5 and y=mx+9 form a right angle. So, y=mx+9 is either perpendicular to x=0 or y=2x-5 because the angle between x=0 and y=2x-5 is not 90 degrees. The product of slopes of perpendicular lines equals to -1.

Thus, m=-1/2 if it is perpendicular to y=2x-5. And y=c, for some constant if it is perpendicular to x=0. So y=0x+9 fits the bill. (m=0, in this case)

What is the area? (IXL)

Zina [86]

Answer:

45 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of trapezoid is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h$

where

b1 and b2 are the parallel bases

h is the height of trapezoid (perpendicular distance between the parallel bases)

we have

$b1=6\ m\\b2=9\ m\\h=6\ m$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6+9)6$

$A=45\ m^2$

write a division problem thaty has a 3 digit dividend and A DIVISOR BETWEEN 10 AND 29. show how to solve it

Mashutka [201]

First we think of a 3 digit dividend for example 100.
Next we think of a divisor between 10 and 29 for example 20.
We divide 100÷20=5

Here's a division problem:

Sophia has 100 pencils. She has 20 boxes with the same number of pencils in them. How many pencils does Sophia put her box?

Divide 100 by 20 which equals 5

Your answer is 5

A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 2.75 feet and each successive bounce is 80% of the previous

Allushta [10]

Answer:

0.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

2.75(0.8)^x

in which x is the number of bounces after the firts bouce

bouce 12 would mean x=11

2.75(0.8)^11 = 0.2

Gianna is preparing for the upcoming tennis season. According to her schedule, she can complete at most 10 workouts this week. I

Strike441 [17]

The whole number of minutes that Gianna complete each week as a function of x and y:
$45x+30y$
Since the above number is greater than 450 minutes, we get the inequality:
$45x+30y\geq450$
Also, "she can complete at most 10 workouts this week" so we deduce the inequality:
$\\x+y\leq10$
Therefore, the system of inequalities is the following:
$45x+30y\geq450$
$\\x+y\leq10$
The above system has many solutions, for example :
