Which is a solution to the equation y = 2x – 5? A.(3, 11) B.(2, 1) C.(1, –3) D.(5, –5)

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is C. (1, -3).

In the brackets, the first number refers to x, and the second to y (like when you write coordinates).

So we can check what is y ineach of the options and compare whether both of the sided of the equasion are equal:
A. 2x-5=-1, should be 11, false
B. 2x-5=4-9=-5, should be 1, false
C. 2x-5=2-5=-3, should be -3, correct
D. 2x-5=10-5=5, should be -5, false

Find the measure of < B

Vinvika [58]

The measure of angle b is 25°.

Solution:

Given data:

The "L" shape angle is a right angle.

Right angle is splitted by another line and two angles are formed.

One angle is 65° and the other angle is b.

Let us find the other angle b.

65° + m∠b = 90°

Subtract 65° from both sides of the equation.

m∠b = 90° – 65°

m∠b = 25°

Hence the measure of angle b is 25°.

How do you find a vector that is orthogonal to 5i + 12j ?

Rashid [163]

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{a}{b}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ b}}}{a}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \boxed{5i+12j}\implies 
\begin{array}{rllll}
\ \textless \ 5&,&12\ \textgreater \ \\
x&&y
\end{array}\quad slope=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies \cfrac{12}{5}
\\\\\\
slope=\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 5}}}{12}
\\\\\\
\ \textless \ 12, -5\ \textgreater \ \ or\ \ \textless \ -12,5\ \textgreater \ \implies \boxed{12i-5j\ or\ -12i+5j}$

if we were to place <5, 12> in standard position, so it'd be originating from 0,0, then the rise is 12 and the run is 5.

so any other vector that has a negative reciprocal slope to it, will then be perpendicular or "orthogonal" to it.

so... for example a parallel to <-12, 5> is say hmmm < -144, 60>, if you simplify that fraction, you'd end up with <-12, 5>, since all we did was multiply both coordinates by 12.

or using a unit vector for those above, then

$\bf \textit{unit vector}\qquad \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{||\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ ||}\implies \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\implies \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}},\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{12,-5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{12,-5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{-5}{13}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-12,5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{-12,5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{-12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{5}{13}}$
