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.

klemol [59]
Distance = √(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²
= √(2+1)² + (8-9)²
= √3² + (-1²)
=  √ 3+1
= √4
= 2

In short, Your Answer would be 2 units

Hope this helps!

IM GONNA GIVE 69420 COOKIES TO THE PERSON WHO GETS TRHIS QUESTION CORRECT
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

z = 104 degrees

y = 34 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle to the left of z must be 76 Degrees as it’s an alternating angle with the 76 Degree angle on the left. It must combine with z to form 180 degrees so it’s 104 degrees.

The angle below z must also combine with z to give 180 degrees so it’s 76.

5y - 94 = 76

5y = 76 + 94

5y = 170

Y = 170/5

y = 34

Answer:

  y = 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you like, you can start with the proportion ...

  x/y = 0.1/0.9

Multiplying by 9y gives ...

  9x = y

The equation you want is ...

  y = 9x
