Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 2y = - 16 ( subtract x from both sides )

2y = - x - 16 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = 2

The answer should be: 4.2857%
43,800-42000=1800.
1800 is 4.2857% of 42000

You will use GeoGebra to classify triangles by measuring their sides and angles. To get started, open GeoGebra and complete each

Butoxors [25]

To measure and classify our triangle we are going to perform the following steps:
Step 1. Open GeoGebra or GeoGebra geometry and enter the input of the three points of our triangle.

Step 2. In the measure menu, choose the distance tool and select tow points in our triangle to measure the distance of one side; repeat the process for the other two sides.

Step 3. In the measure menu, choose the angle tool and select three points in our triangle to measure the angle between the three points; repeat the process for the other two angles.

Step 4. After performing the previous steps, we end with a triangle of three equal sides of 5.8 units and three equal angles of 60°. Since all the sides and angles in our triangle are equal, we have an equilateral triangle.

We can conclude that the triangle with coordinates <span>(10, 14), (15, 11.11), and (10, 8.22) is an equilateral triangle.</span>
