Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (8,1)

Mathematics

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

your bank balance is 515.50. if you write a check to buy a watch, your balance would be 496.11. how much dose the watch cost ? w
grin007 [14]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

WatchCost=StartingBalance-EndingBalance\\\\WatchCost=515.50-496.11=19.39

The cost of the watch is $19.39.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we can create a linear equation using the given information about the starting balance and the ending balance.

We know that the starting balance was $515.50, and then, after writing a check to buy the watch, the balance was $496.11, so, writing the function we have:

WatchCost=StartingBalance-EndingBalance\\\\WatchCost=515.50-496.11=19.39

Hence, we have that the cost of the watch is $19.39.

Have a nice day!

a. Based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.

b. To the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.

<h3>What are Similar Triangles?</h3>

The ratios of the corresponding sides of two triangles that are similar are equal.

Two triangles with two pairs of congruent angles are similar to each other based on the AA similarity theorem.

a. In ΔABC and ΔSDC, there are two pairs of congruent angles - ∠DCS ≅ ∠BCA (vertical angles) and ∠ABC ≅ ∠SDC (right angles)

Therefore, based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.

b. AB = 150 ft

Distance from the ship to the shore = SD = ?

DC = 130 ft

CB = 23 ft

Thus:

AB/SD = CB/DC

Substitute

150/SD = 23/130

SD = (150×130)/23

SD = 847.8

Thus, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.
