Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.
The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.
In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.
Answer:
-3/-2
Step-by-step explanation:
because (x,y) the x coordinate is -3 and the y coordinate is -2
Answer:
length = 60m
Step-by-step explanation:
let '3x' = length
let '2x' = width
3x + 3x + 2x + 2x = 200
10x = 200
x = 20
length = 3x = 3(20) = 60
First of all, you can move the +2x to the other side:
-11 = -26 - 2x
Then you can move the -26 to the other side and then simplify:
-11+26 = -2x
15 = -2x
Then you can divide both sides by 2:
7.5 = -x
Then you can flip the sides and the signs around:
x = -7.5
No, The answer is not -7, it is -7.5
Hope this helps! :)
