X^2 -x- 6 equals (x-3)(x+2). Just look at the negative six and think, what two numbers give me this? Then, get a pair of what you find, and see if the two numbers added equal to negative one (which comes from the negative "x" as the coefficient is always 1). That's how you get -3 and +2.

Which lines are perpendicular to the line y - 1 = 1/3 (x+2)? Check all that apply.

ioda

Answer: Options 1, 3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so since the slope of the given line is 1/3, we need to find lines with a slope of -3.

Option 1 has a slope of -3.
Option 2 has a slope of 3.
Option 3 has a slope of -3.
Option 4 has a slope of 1/3.
If we subtract 3x from both sides, we get y=-3x+7, so option 5 has a slope of -3.

What fraction of 1 pint is 1 cup

Aleonysh [2.5K]

<span>The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint. </span>
