Perpendicular slopes have a product of -1, thus $\bf \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{d}{3}=-1$

solve for "d"

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
so

1/2 times d/3=-1
d/6=-1
times both sides by 6
d=-6

What is the slope of the line through the points (–3, 5) and (4, 5)? undefined 0 2 –2

Kazeer [188]

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this case you have the points (-3, 5) and (4, 5):

$y_{2} =5\\y_{1} =5\\x_{2} =4\\x_{1} =-3$

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

$\frac{5-5}{4 - (-3)}$

$\frac{0}{7}$

^^^This is your slope

The circumference of a circle is 9π m. What is the area of the circle? ASAP!

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

20.25 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) and circumference (C) of a circle are calculated using the formulae

C = 2πr and A = πr² ( where r is the radius )

calculate the radius using the formula for circumference

2πr = 9π ( divide both sides by 2π )

r = $\frac{9\pi }{2\pi }$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ = 4.5, hence

A = π × 4.5² = 20.25π m²
