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

What is the definition of mean???

Scilla [17]

Mean, in terms of math, is the total added values of all the data in a set divided by the number of data in the set. Make sense? If not, here' an example...

Let's say this is my data set:
1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 8, 7, 4, 6,10

To find the mean...
Step 1: Add all of them together.
1+2+5+4+3+8+7+4+6+10 is what? 50. Now that you have this number...
Step 2: Divide by the amount there are. Basically, count up all of the numbers. How many are there? There are 10. Finally...
Step 3: Divide. 50/10 is 5, so the mean of this data set would be 5. Get it? I sure hoped this helped :)

If the dimensions of a pentagonal prism are quadrupled, then the surface area of the prism is multiplied by eight.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship between lengths/dimensions and areas is that areas are created by multiplying 2 dimensions.

when you quadruple (×4) the dimensions, then the areas are growing with the square of the factor (×4×4 = ×16), because the factor goes twice into the multiplication : one time for every dimension involved.

so, quadrupling the dimensions would multiply the areas by 16.

Find the value of x and y of the equilateral triangle. I need it ASAP

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

x=12, y=30

Step-by-step explanation:

to find x:

in a equilateral triangle, all three sides are congruent, so:

4x-4=3x+8

x-4=8

x=12

to find y:

in an equilateral triangle, all the angles are 60°, so:

2y=60

y=30°

Which graph represents the solution to the compound inequality?

zmey [24]

The graph which represents the solution to the compound inequality is; -2 ≤ x < 5.

<h3>Which graph represents the solution to the compound inequality?</h3>

The inequalities given in the task content can be solved as follows;

For –2x + 4 ≤ 8

-2x ≤ 8 -4

x >= -2

For –2x + 4 > –6

–2x > –6 -4

x < 5

Hence, the graph which represents the solution to the compound inequality is; -2 ≤ x < 5.

61% of 180 ?

poizon [28]

First, when multiplying percents, you need to convert them to decimals. You convert percents to decimals by multiplying by 100 or moving the decimal two places to the left. Once you convert them to full decimals, you multiply the decimal by the number that you are getting the percentage from

61% of 180⇒.61×180=109.8 

5.1% of 81?⇒.051×81=4.131

 $16 \frac{1}{2}$ of 36?⇒16.5×36⇒.165×36=5.94

81% of 241⇒.81×241=195.21

76% of 600⇒.76×600=456

88% of 680⇒.88×680=598.4

37% of 481⇒.37×481=177.97

19.1% of 380⇒.191×380=72.58

41% of 321⇒.41×321=131.61

33% of 331⇒.33×331=109.23
