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.

The product of two factors is 7,200.if one of the factors is 90,what is the other factor?
Eddi Din [679]

Ok. Something times 90 = 7200.


Let something = x


90x = 7200


Divide both sides by 90.


90x/90 = 7200/90


x = 80


The other factor is 80.
