Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
When any triangle is dilated from the pre-image, its sides will never be congruent to the pre-image. However, its angles will be congruent and the triangles will be similar.
Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
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
