Answer:

The perpendicular line has a slope of -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have a slope that multiplies to -1

3/2 * m = -1

Multiply each side by 2/3

3/2 * 2/3 *m = -1 * 2/3

m = -2/3

Answer: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation: The key to understanding this problem is to understand what it means when slopes are perpendicular.

To most students, perpendicular lines are simply

lines that meet  at a 90 degree angle.

However, when dealing with these kinds of problems, it's important

to think about perpendicular lines in terms of their slopes.

As a rule, the slopes of two perpendicular

lines are always negative reciprocals.

So if we know that the slope of one line is 3/2, we can find the slope of the other line by finding the negative reciprocal of 3/2.

So we take the fraction and flip it, then we change the sign.

So the negative reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3.

D) Use your knowledge of scale drawings and image sizes to fill in the missing
astraxan [27]

Answer:

  Your table is filled in below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of image size to original size. In part (d), the image height is "blocks" while the original height is "feet". So, the units of the scale factor are "blocks/ft".

Sometimes a scale factor has units, like this, and sometimes it is expressed as a pure number. A map scale factor might be the pure number ratio 1 : 62500, or it could also be expressed with units as 1 in : 1 mile.*

__

* actually, these are slightly different scales. 1:62500 is about 0.98643 inches per mile.

A sporting goods stores sells footballs, basketballs, and volleyballs. A football costs $35, a basketball costs
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The number of footballs, basketballs and volleyballs were sold are 75, 36 and 15 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A football costs $35, a basketball costs $25  and a volleyball costs $15.

Let F represents the football, B represents the basketball and V represents the volleyball.

On a given day, the store sold 5 times as many footballs as volleyballs.

F=5V......(1)

They  brought in a total of $3750 that day,

35F+25B+15V=3750......(2)

The money made from basketballs alone was 4 times the money.

25B=4(15V)......(3)

By equation 1, 2 and 3.

35(5V)+4(15V)+15V=3750

250V=3750

V=15

Substitute the value of V in equation 1 and 3.

F=5(15)=75

25B=4(15\times 15)\\B=36

Hence, the number of footballs, basketballs and volleyballs were sold are 75, 36 and 15 respectively.
