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.

ioda
No, because the sum of the measures shorter legnths of the sides must be greater than the measure of the greatest angle

4+8=12
so therefor the side legnths if you tried to make into a triangle, it would make a line 12 units long

Someone help please!!!!
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

as the green and blue box are squares they will have the same sides, length.

so all the sides in the green and blue squares are 3

the pink and orange rectangles : the longer is 7 the shorter one is 3

for the top length of the whole shape is = 7 +3 = 10

side length of the shape is 3 + 3= 6

so then you do 6 x 10 = 60

60 cm² is the answer :)

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

5x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 9 ) + (2x + 4)

It's quite simple, we just have to add the parts that have x to each other and those that don't have x to each other

3x + 2x + 9 +4 =

then the result is

5x + 13
