Answer: 6 and 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we first leave 5/2 alone so don't do anything to it.

For our second fraction, we want to switch the numerator and the

denominator which means find the reciprocal of it.

The reciprocal of 2/5 is just the opposite of it when

you flip it and it's going to be 5/2.

Because we did the opposite there, we need to do the opposite

of division and the opposite of division is multiplication.

So now we have 5/2 × 5/2 which is 25/4 or 6 and 1/4.

Soulotion to equation if y is =15 when x=2 ,find y when x=8

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The value of y for x = 8 is 60 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as :

For x = 2 , y = 15

Let the equation be written with constant k'

So, y = k x

Or, k = $\dfrac{y}{x}$

∴ k = $\dfrac{15}{2}$

Now, again

For x = 8

equation can be written as

y = k x

Or, y = $\dfrac{15}{2}$ × 8

Or, y = $\frac{15\times 8}{2}$

∴ y = 15 × 4

I.e y = 60

Hence The value of y for x = 8 is 60 . Answer

Find the coordinates of the third vertex that completes the construction of a right triangle on the coordinate plane.

Neko [114]

Answer:

(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}

OR

(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given line from the right to the left are:

(7,1) and (-2,1)

So, to make a right triangle, we need to make a right angle or by another words, we need to a make a perpendicular line to the given line (i.e: a vertical line parallel to the y-axis at one of the given points)

So, the third vertex must be on the line x=7 or x=-2

So, the coordinates of the third vertex is:

(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}

OR

(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}
