If the slope of line L is -2/5, what is the slope of line m so that line l and line m are perpendicular?

1 answer:

3 0

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. So if the slope is -2/5...to find the negative reciprocal, " flip " the slope and change the sign.
So we flip -2/5 and we get 5/-2...and now we change the sign...and we get 5/2. So our perpendicular slope will be 5/2.

A school baseball team earned $3416.90 from selling 5716 tickets to their game. If grandstand tickets sold for 65 cents each and

Nataly [62]

Let g and b represent the numbers of grandstand and bleacher tickets sold.
.. g + b = 5716 . . . . . . . . . total number of tickets sold
.. 65g +40b = 341690 . . value of tickets sold

Using the first equation
.. g = 5716 -b
Sustituting into the second equation
.. 65(5716 -b) +40b = 341690
.. -25b + 371540 = 341690 . . . . . collect terms
.. -25b = -29850 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 371540
.. b = 1194 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -25

1194 bleacher tickets were sold.

3. How many solutions does the system of equations have? 2x=-10y+ 6 and x+5y=3

ozzi

Answer:

<h2>3. Infinitely many</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c=f,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right\\(2)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c\neq f,\ \text{then the system of equations has no solution}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=-5\end{array}\right$

$(3)\\\text{if}\ a\neq d\ \text{or}\ b\neq e,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-10y+6&\text{add 10y to both sides}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+10y=6&\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+5y=3\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right$
