Perpendicular means that the slopes are negartive inverses, aka
slope1 times slope2=-1
y=mx+b
slope=m
y=-1/2x-2
slope=-1/2
we need to find negative inverse
-1/2 times what=-1
answer is 2
y=2x+b
input the point (2,-2) to find b
(x,y)
(2,-2)
-2=2(2)+b
-2=4+b
minus 4 from both sides
-6=b
y=2x-6
the equtaion is y=2x-6
They intersect at a right angle
Answer:
30 miles²
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the area of the prism we have to multiply the area of the base * the height of the prism. The base of the prism is a right triangle.
<em>(b*h)÷2 = Area of a triangle</em>
<em />
<em>Base = 4</em>
<em>Height = 3</em>
<em>Now:</em>
<em>(4*3)/2 = 6 miles²</em>
<em />
<em>Now we have to multiply 6 miles² by 5 as our height.</em>
<em />
<em>We get 30 miles² as the volume of the figure.</em>
2x² + 5x -6x - 15 = 0
2x² - x - 15 = 0
2x² -x = 15
x = 3
3 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15
i really don't know how i got 3 in the first place but that is your answer
hope this helps
