A reciprocal, or multiplicative inverse, is simply one of a pair of numbers that, when multiplied together, equal 1. If you can reduce the number to a fraction, finding the reciprocal is simply a matter of transposing the numerator and the denominator so the answer is he used the recpriocal of the slope.

I hope this helps you



slope=y2-y1/x2-x1


slope=9-15/5-3


slope= -6/2


slope = -3

Please help me with this answer having a hard time
Ipatiy [6.2K]

To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

In this problem we have double parentheses. Which one should we solve first? The answer to that is always the inner most ones:

13[ 6² ÷ (5² - 4²) + 9]

5² - 4²

^^^Here you will have to first take the square of both values

25 - 16

9

13[ 6² ÷ (9) + 9]

Now for the exponents

13[ 6² ÷ (9) + 9]

6²

36

13[ 36 ÷ 9 + 9]

Now for the division:

13[ 36 ÷ 9 + 9]

36 ÷ 9

4

13[ 4 + 9]

Now for the addition

13[ 4 + 9]

4 + 9

13

13[13]

Now for multiplication

169

Hope this helped!

What is tge total surface area of a solid sphere of diameter 14cm
Alborosie

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4π*r^3.


Since the radius in this case is 7 cm (half the 14 cm diameter), the area of this sphere is


A = 4π(7 cm)^2, or 196π cm^2.
