Answer:

The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line will be –5/2

If y = 5x – 4, which of the following sets represents possible inputs and outputs of the function, represented as ordered pairs?

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the x value into the right side of the function and if the value obtained is equal to the y value of the point then it is a solution.

(0, - 4) → y = 5(0) - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4 ← True

(2, 6) → y = 5(2) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 ← True

(4, 20) → 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 ← False

(4, 16) → 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 ← True

(0, - 4), (2, 6), (4, 16) ← possible inputs and outputs

on the left side of the triangle, it says 10 cm, on the right side of the triangle, it says 18 cm, below the triangle, it says 1

stira [4]

Area formula for a triangle is 1/2BxH

B=15
H=10

1/2(15)= 7.5

7.5 x 10= 75

So the area is 75 square cm :)

1/2 - 3/4 equals what

n200080 [17]

1. Method 1: By Listing MultiplesList out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.

2: 2 , 4

4: 4
Therefore, the LCD is 4

Method 2: By Prime FactorsList all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
Therefore, the LCD is 2 x 2 = 4

2. Make the denominators the same as the LCD

 $\frac{1 x 2}{2 x 2} - \frac{3}{4}$

3. Simplify. Denominators are now the same.

 $\frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$

4. Join the denominators

$\frac{2-3}{4}$

5. Simplify

 $-\frac{1}{4}$

Done! :) Decimal Form: -0.25
