What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx +b format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -x + 14. When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the m, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as   -\frac{1}{1} -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.

Answer:

x = 7.5

y = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

if one angle of an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees (180/3) then 4x + 2x + 2x = 8x = 60, so x = 7.5

for y, we'll have to take the right triangle. we know that 2x = 15, and MON = 60, so 180 - 60 - 15 = 105.

180 - 105 will give us y, which is 75

The largest angle is a triangle is 110°. Of the remaining two angles, one is 4° less than the other angle. Find the
Masja [62]

Answer:

Do 180-110=70 Then have it where 70/2=35. 35+4=39, 35-4=31, so the three angles are 39, 110, and 31.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation mostly depends on what you're learning right now. The first way would be to convert this matrix to a system of equations like this.

g + t + k = 90

g + 2t - k = 55

-g - t + 3k = 30

Then you solve using normal methods of substitution or elimination. It seems to me that elimination is the quickest method.

g + t + k = 90

-g - t + 3k = 30

____________

0 + 0 + 4k = 120

4k = 120

k = 30

No you can plug this into the first two equations

g + t + (30) = 90

g + t = 60

and

g + 2t - (30) = 55

g + 2t = 85

now use elimination again by multiplying the first equation by -1

g + 2t = 85

-g - t = -60

_________

0 + t = 25

t = 25

Now plug those both back into one of the equations. I'll just do the first one.

g + (25) + (30) = 90

g = 35

Therefore, we know that Ted spent the least amount of time on the computer.

The second method is using matrix reduction and getting the matrix in the row echelon form, therefore solving using the gauss jordan method. If you would like me to go through this instead, please leave a comment.
