Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

The given lengths are two sides of a right triangle. All three side lengths of the triangle are integers and together form a pyt
Leni [432]
If all three side lengths are INTEGERS and form PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLE then we know decimals are not allowed

if 24 and 51 are both legs then
24^{2} +  51^{2} =  x^{2}
x = 3177
and squre root of that gives us 56.364.... NOT an integer

So that means one of them is not a leg and since hypotenuse is longer than both legs, 51 must be the hypotenuse so to get the third side

51^{2} -  24^{2}  =  x^{2}[tex] [tex] x^{2}=2025
x=45, leg B

What is the y intercept? f(x)=-2^2+4x-6
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The y intercept is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

the y-intercept is when y = 0

f(0) = -2^2 + 4(0) - 5

f(0) = 4 - 5

f(0) = -1

JA manufacturer determines that the cost of making a computer component is ​$3.161616. Write the repeating decimal cost as a fra
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The repeating decimal cost

a) As a fraction = $\frac{3161616}{1000000}

b) As a mixed number = $ 3\frac{161616}{1000000}

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of making a computer component

= $3.161616

= $ 3 + 0.161616

Looking at the repeating decimal it is in 6 decimal places, hence to convert it to a fraction,

0.161616/ 1000000 × 1000000

= 161616/1000000

Therefore, the cost of making  the  computer component =

$3 + $161616/1000000

Step 1

We convert to a fraction

$3 + $161616/1000000

We find the LCM = 1000000

($3 × 1000000)+ ($161616× 1)/1000000

3000000 + 161616/1000000

= $ (3161616/1000000)

As a Mixed number = 3\frac{161616}{1000000}
