It is 2. You flip the fraction and make it negative always to get perpendicular slopes. If it was like 3, you treat it as 3/1 and would make it -1/3.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the given slope (flip the slope and change the sign)

So a line perpendicular to a line with slope -1/2 will have a slope of 2/1 or 2.

Answer:

Easy,

1) To find the area you need to multiply. Therefore 10 x 4 = 40 square centimeters.

2) 20, why? A calculator online for area of a triangle, it really helps! :) just look up triangle area in the future.

Lindsay fills up the gas tank before beginning a long trip. When the gas gauge shows that she has used three-eights of a tank of
Ksju [112]

Answer:

440miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that mileage of 165 = 3/8 of a tank of gas

as inverse 5/8 would be left and the product we seek to add to 165.

We find a ratio to distribute 165 as 3/8

First we double and find 6/8 is an even number and = 330 miles.

= 3/4 ratio and that is 6:8 so 2 extra we seek to make a full tank before we add is 1/3 of 330 miles as 1/3 = 2/8 to make this balance only in this question is this possible as we call it distribution like percentage 10% added to 100 would always be 10 just like it is added, but finding 10% of 110 is different.

Therefore so would 1/3 afterwards once we find 1/3 = 2/8 is not the same as finding 1/3 after we find the full tank.

1/3 of 330 = 110

110 +330 = 440miles

I hope that helps you see how to work out close range distribution.

As now not that it's asking you to see 1/3 of 440miles but in same principal as explained about the 10% theory, you see 1/3 of 440 miles is now more than 110. it is 1/3 x 440 = 146.66 = 1/3. and so we can prove distribution is possible and say 2/8 = 1/3 even though in relation to 1 as a whole number its not true. It's only true in distribution.

5x-1/5=7/3 <br> Find The LCD That would eliminate the fractions
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

x=\frac{7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-\frac{1}{5} =\frac{7}{3}

5x - \frac{3}{15}  = \frac{35}{15}

5x - \frac{3}{15}  + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{35}{15}  + \frac{3}{15}

5x=\frac{35}{15}

\frac{5x}{5} } =\frac{\frac{35}{15}}{5}

x=\frac{7}{15}
