Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of m_1=1/2  ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

m_1*m_2=-1

substitute

(1/2)*m_2=-1

m_2=-2

so

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

-25

Step-by-step explanation:

                      2x + 50 = 0

                               2x = 0 - 50

                                     = -50

                                   x = -50 / 2

                                      = -25

Which of the following data is used to determine credit scores? A. who stays with you at your current residence B. the location
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The correct option is the length of stay at your current residence.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been asked that which data is used to determine credit scores.

The correct option is the length of stay at your current residence.

This question is used to determine credit scores. This helps the lender to look up information about your history of payments. When a lender asks this question they are able to determine how long you typically stay in one place, and look up bills at that residence to make sure they are paid on time before giving out a loan. They can also use this information to determine a credit score based on what is being paid on time, late or not at all...
