Slope of a line perpendicular to 5x -9y = 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
7 0

The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.

5x - 9y = 1

-9y = -5x + 1

y = 5/9x - 1/9

To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).

This gives us a new slope of

A product is now £50, the product was reduced by 20%, what was the original price
olga nikolaevna [1]

the original price is "x", or 100%.

but we know that if we reduce "x" by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, the 80% of "x" is really £50, what is "x" or the 100% anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 50&80 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{100}{80}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=250 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{250}{4}\implies x=62.5

Nataliya [291]
Total distance 5 km; at 5km / 0.65 h =

Second part distance: x; at 6 km/h, during t2

First part distance: 5 - x; at 8.75 km/h, during t1

V = d/t ⇒ t = d/V

t2 = x/6
t1=[5-x]/8.75

t2 + t1 = 0.65

x/6 + [5-x]/8.75 = 0.65

x/6 + 5/8.75 - x/8.75 = 13/20

 x/6 - x/8.75 = 13/20 - 5/8.75

x/6 - 4x/35 =13/20 - 20/35

35x - 24x = (35*6)(35*13 - 20*20)/(20*35)

11 x = 16.5
x = 16.5/11 = 1.5 km
