<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions  of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

Fittoniya [83]
Suprisingly the answer is $280,000. This is answer because when you round 35.50 it is 40. When you round 6,789 it is 7,000. 40 times 7,000 is 280,000

lana [24]

Answer:

96 trays

Step-by-step explanation:

762 shells divided into 8 shells in each tray equals 95.25 but you cant have 95.25 trays so it'd be 96.

Justin is constructing a line through point Q that is perpendicular to line n. He has already constructed the arcs shown. He pla
krek1111 [17]
<span>B. It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. This problem would be a lot easier if you had actually supplied the diagram with the "arcs shown". But thankfully, with a few assumptions, the solution can be determined. Usually when constructing a perpendicular to a line through a specified point, you first use a compass centered on the point to strike a couple of arcs on the line on both sides of the point, so that you define two points that are equal distance from the desired intersection point for the perpendicular. Then you increase the radius of the compass and using that setting, construct an arc above the line passing through the area that the perpendicular will go. And you repeat that using the same compass settings on the second arc constructed. This will define a point such that you'll create two right triangles that are reflections of each other. With that in mind, let's look closely at your problem to deduce the information that's missing. "... places his compass on point B ..." Since he's not placing the compass on point Q, that would imply that the two points on the line have already been constructed and that point B is one of those 2 points. So let's look at the available choices and see what makes sense. A .It must be wider than when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Not good. Since this implies that the arc centered on point A has been constructed, then it's a safe assumption that points A and B are the two points defined by the initial pair of arcs constructed that intersect the line and are centered around point Q. If that's the case, then the arc centered around point B must match exactly the setting used for the arc centered on point A. So this is the wrong answer. B It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Perfect! Look at the description of creating a perpendicular at the top of this answer. This is the correct answer. C. It must be equal to BQ. Nope. If this were the case, the newly created arc would simply pass through point Q and never intersect the arc centered on point A. So it's wrong. D.It must be equal to AB. Sorta. The setting here would work IF that's also the setting used for the arc centered on A. But that's not guaranteed in the description above and as such, this is wrong.</span>
