In order for two linear lines to be perpendicular, the product of their gradient must be -1.
Let's take y = x + b and y = -x + b
This is already in the form: y = mx + b, where m is 1 and -1 respectively.
Since the product of their gradient is -1, they are said to be perpendicular.
Answer:
The "check your answer" probably means check your answer by graphing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
Answer: 7689 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Since tickets was sold for every seat, the total number of tickets that were sold will be the addition of the 802 seats in the balcony and 6887 seats on the main floor. This will be:
= 802 + 6887
= 7689 tickets
