Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the points is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 1-2)/(8-5)

   = -1/3

The slope that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal which is

- ( 1/(-1/3)

+ 3/1

The perpendicular slope is 3

The triangles are similar. If KL = 5, JL = 6, and PM = 9, find PN. Round to the nearest tenth.
Pachacha [2.7K]
If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5
