Y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 20 + 3 = 5x - 17
=> slope = 5

For perpendicular line, m2 = -1/m1 = -1/5

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect. The angle made by their intersection is a right angle. To know if 2 lines are perpendicular is through their slopes. The slope of the other line must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first. Since the slope of line AB is 5 hence the slope of the other line must be -1/5. C is the answer.

Help please I don’t get this
Bess [88]

Answer:

y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is y = mx + b

m = slope

slope = change in y/change in x = (-1 - 3) / (0 - -2) = -4/2 = -2

So equation is now y = -2x + b

To find b, substitute any value from the table into the equation. Let's use (-2,3)

y = -2x + b

3 = -2(-2) + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

So equation is y = -2x - 1

Use the following diagram to find the angle measures of the triangle, rounded to the nearest degree.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

m∠A = 30°

m∠B = 80°

m∠C = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying cosine rule in the given triangle,

b² = a² + c² - 2ac[cos(∠B)]

From the given triangle,

a = 14 m

b = 28 m

c = 24 m

(28)² = (14)² + (24)² - 2(14)(24)cos(B)

784 = 196 + 576 - 672cos(∠B)

cos(∠B) = 0.1786

∠B = \text{cos}^{-1}(0.1786)

∠B = 79.71°

∠B = 80°

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

\frac{\text{sinA}}{a}= \frac{\text{sinB}}{b}= \frac{\text{sinC}}{c}

\frac{\text{sinA}}{14}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}}{28}= \frac{\text{sinC}}{24}

\frac{\text{sinA}}{14}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}}{28}

\text{sinA}= \frac{\text{sin(79.71)}\times 14}{28}

sinA = 0.491958

A = 29.47°

A ≈ 30°

By applying triangle sum theorem,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

30° + 80° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 70°
