Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
If a population is decreasing by 8% we can multiply the population by 92% (1-.08)
which means we have the following equation
population=15000(.92)ⁿ
where n is the number of years
we want to know when the population will be 10,000 so we write
10,000=15,000(.92)ⁿ
.66667=.92ⁿ
a rule we have is
which means that
compute this and get
4.867
round this up to 5
Answer:
Slope of PQ = 0
Slope of MN = infinity
PQ and MN are perpendicular to each other
Step-by-step explanation:
for any two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2)given in coordinate plane slope is given by
For any line if slope is zero it is parallel to X axis and perpendicular to Y axis
For any line if slope is infinity it is parallel to Y axis and perpendicular to X axis
Also we know X and Y are perpendicular to each other.
Since slope of PQ is zero it is parallel to X axis and perpendicular to Y axis
Since slope of MN is infinity it is parallel to Y axis and perpendicular to X axis.
Thus two lines PQ and MN are perpendicular to each other.
