Perpendicular means the slopes are opposite inverse of each other
If line a is slope 2, the perpendicular line to Line a would have a slope - 1/2
Difference in y over difference in x gives slope. If they are opposite inverse values the lines are perpendicular. ( in this case the answer is true.)
x + 1/2 = 3/4
set denominators equal:
x + 2/4 = 3/4
-2/4 for both sides:
x = 1/4
there you go! hope this helps!
Answer: The constant of proportionality is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for constant of proportionality is y=KX. the K stands for the constant of proportionality and since the constant proportionality is 1.5 you will take 1.5 * x and for example x is 2 so you do 1.5 * 2 and you get 3 and 3 is your y. If you plug in the equation you're saying 3 equals 1.5 * 2 which is right.
