Do all perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes?

Mathematics
1 answer:
inna [77]3 years ago
6 0

Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.

The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.

In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.

A boat traveled 36 miles in 1.5 hours and then 14 miles in 0.75 hours. what is the average speed of the boat?
jeka57 [31]
Speed=distance/time
You'll have to combine like terms.
36+14=50
1.5+0.75=2.25

And then you can use the formula.
50/2.25

PLS HELP I NEED HELP NOW<br> I BEG
stepan [7]
Hello there! The area of the triangle portion is 11 square units, the area of the rectangle portion is 77 square units, and the area of the entire figure is 88 square units.

To find the area of the triangle, we can follow the formula:

A = LW/2 (which means length x width divided by 2)

Given the formula:

2 • 11 = 22

22 divided by 2 gives us 11 square units.

To find the area of the rectangle portion, we can follow the area formula:

A = LW (which means area = length x width)

Given the formula:

7 • 11 = 77 square units

To find the area of the whole figure, we add the areas of both isolated shapes:

11 + 77 = 88 square units.

Therefore, our area for the entire figure is 88 square units. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

What is the volume of the composite figure? Explain your work. A complete answer should include how you broke up the figure, whi
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of a square prism and a trapezoidal prism. By adding the volume of each, we obtain the volume of the composite figure.

The volume of the square prism is given by V=s^2\cdot h, where s is the base length and h is the height. Substituting given values, we have: V=14^2\cdot 30=196\cdot 30=5,880\:\mathrm{mm^3}

The volume of a trapezoidal prism is given by V=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot l\cdot h, where b_1 and b_2 are bases of the trapezoid, l is the length of the height of the trapezoid and h is the height. This may look very confusing, but to break it down, we're finding the area of the trapezoid (base) and multiplying it by the height. The area of a trapezoid is given by the average of the bases (\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}) multiplied by the trapezoid's height (l).

Substituting given values, we get:

V=\frac{14+24}{2}\cdot (30-14)\cdot 30,\\V=19\cdot 16\cdot 30=9,120\:\mathrm{mm^3}}

Therefore, the total volume of the composite figure is 5,880+9,120=\boxed{15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}} (ah, perfect)

Alternatively, we can break the figure into a larger square prism and a triangular prism to verify the same answer:

V=30^2\cdot 14+\frac{1}{2}\cdot10\cdot 16\cdot 30=\boxed{15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}}\checkmark
