Lines m and p are perpendicular. if the slope of line m is -3 what is the slope of line p

Mathematics

For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1, in this case our reference line has a slope of -3 so:

-3m=-1  divide both sides by -3

m=-1/-3

m=1/3

So the perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/3

In what year was her grandpa lopez twice as old as her dad?show how you know
RoseWind [281]
So,

We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.

Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.

66 + x = 2(37 + x)

Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x

Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x

Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x

So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad.  Let's check that.

66 - 8 = 58

37 = 8 = 29

29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58

It checks.
