Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. What that means is if u have a slope of 1/2, to find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign.......flip 2/1, change the sign -2/1 or just -2. So the negative reciprocal for the slope of 1/2 is -2.
A. y = 1/5x + 3.....slope here is 1/5, so for a perpendicular line, u r gonna need an equation with the slope of -5.....and that would be : y + 3 = -5(x + 2).
B. Parallel lines will have the same slope. y = 5x - 2...the slope here is 5...so a parallel line will have a slope of 5.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(8,-2)...x = 8 and y = -2
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
-2 = 5(8) + b
-2 = 40 + b
-2 - 40 = b
-42 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = 5x -42
I believe its letter b. how far from zero because it would determine negative and positive numbers! so wait till an other answer and maybe you will get letter b as the answer hope i helped! <span />
Answer:
The length is 13
Step-by-step explanation:
w+w+l+l= perimeter
if the length is 3m less than twice the width then let's do some math.
42 divided 2 =21. so the width and length of one side have to equal 21. For example, let's use 8 as the width. The length would be twice(16) minus three(13) 13 plus 8 is 21. WOW it equals half of it so no we know the length is 13 and the wdith is 8.
X=h/4 -3y/4 hope that helped
