Which of the following lines is perpendicular to y=-2x+3?
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line has equation:
Compare to the general slope-intercept form: y=mx+c
This implies that m=-2 is the slope of the given line.
The slope of all lines perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of -2.
This implies that the slope of any line perpendicular to y=-2x+3 is
Now look through the options and choose the equation that is of the form:

Answer:
cos(θ) = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can think of this situation as a triangle rectangle (you can see it in the image below).
Here, we have a triangle rectangle with an angle θ, such that the adjacent cathetus to θ is 3 units long, and the cathetus opposite to θ is 4 units long.
Here we want to find cos(θ).
You should remember:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
We already know that the adjacent cathetus is equal to 3.
And for the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, this is:
3^2 + 4^2 = H^2
We can solve this for H, to get:
H = √( 3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5
The hypotenuse is 5 units long.
Then we have:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
cos(θ) = 3/5
Let's assume
shorter side as x
so, first side =2x
third side =x+19
now, we can find perimeter of triangle
perimeter of any triangle is
first side + shortest side + third side
so, we get
we are given perimeter=187
so, we can set it to 187
and then solve for x
so,
shortest length is x=42 feet
First side =2x=2*42=84feet
third side =x+19=42+19=61 feet
so, dimensions are
first side is 42 feet
second side is 84 feet
third side is 61 feet................Answer
