Answer:

perpendicular is the opposite, so -3

Answer:

FIRST OPTION: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocals.

In this case you can observe that that the slope of the line is \frac{1}{3} and you know that the other line is perpendicular to this line. Therefore, their slopes are negative reciprocals.

This means that:

If slope_1=\frac{1}{3} ,then  slope_2=-3

This matches with the first option.

Sadiq measured the dimensions of a 1 kg bag of sugar and found the length was 9.2 cm, the width was 6 cm and the height was 14.1
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

d=1.28\times 10^{-6}\ g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of a bag of sugar, m = 1 kg = 0.001 g

Length of bag, l = 9.2 cm

Width of bag, b = 6 cm

Height of the bag, h = 14.1 cm

We need to find the density of the sugar bag.

Density = mass/volume

So,

d=\dfrac{0.001\ g}{9.2\times 6\times 14.1\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.28\times 10^{-6}\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the bag is 1.28\times 10^{-6}\ g/cm^3.
