Answer:

1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals. So, if one line has a slope of -6, the negative of the slope would be 6, and the reciprocal would be 1/6.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Well perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other,

meaning if like k has a slope of -6 then line n will have a slope of positive 1/6.

Thus,

line n has a slope of 1/6.

Hope this helps:)

Find the measure of CP

dmitriy555 [2]

Given:

A figure ABCP.

To find:

The measure of CP.

Solution:

In triangles ABP and CBP,

$\angle PAB\cong \angle PCB$ (Given right angles)

$\angle ABP\cong \angle CBP$ (Given)

$BP=BP$ (Common side)

Now,

$\Delta ABP\cong \Delta CBP$ (By AAS property of congruence)

We know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

$AP=CP$

$8=CP$

Therefore, the measure of CP is 8 units.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the average net change is between a lower limit of 11.709 and an upper limit of 30.921.

The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 4.303.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)

mean = (17+20+26)/3 = 63/3 = 21

sd = sqrt[((17-21)^2 + (20-21)^2 + (26-21)^2) ÷ 3] = sqrt(42÷3) = sqrt(14) = 3.74

n = 3

degree of freedom = n-1 = 3-1 = 2

confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%

critical value (t) corresponding to 2 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 4.303.

The critical value is 4.303

E = t×sd/√n = 4.303×3.74/√3 = 9.291

Lower limit of mean = mean - E = 21 - 9.291 = 11.709

Upper limit of mean = mean + E = 21 + 9.291 = 30.291

95% confidence interval is (11.709, 30.391)

The total of two numbers is 28. Four times the smaller number is 7 more than three times the larger number.

navik [9.2K]

Let's define:
$x \ \textless \ y$

So, you can set up a system of equations:
$x + y = 28$
$4x = 7 + 3y$

Now, to solve for both of those values, solve the system of equations:
$x = 28 - y$
$4(28-y) = 7+3y$
$122-4y=7+3y$
$115 -4y = 3y$
$115 = 7y$
$y = 16.43$

Now, plug that y-value into the first equation to solve for x:
$x + 16.43=28$
$x = 11.57$

Now, we have both the values. The smaller value (x) = 11.57 and the bigger value (y) = 16.43.
