Answer:

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 figures are similar. find x. the ratio of the perimeters is 5:7

anastassius [24]

Answer:

x = 16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of corresponding sides is equivalent to the ratio of the perimeters.

Then using proportion

$\frac{12}{x}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$ ( cross- multiply )

5x = 84 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 16.8
