Answer:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Slope of Line S - (b - 0)/(0 - (-a)) = b/a

<u>Remember the clockwise rule:</u>

(-a, 0) → (0, a)

(0, b) → (b, 0)

Slope of line T - (0- a)/(b - 0) = -a/b = -a/b

The product of slopes: b/a × (-a/b) =  -1

So, finally, our answer is:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Answer:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope of line s:</u>

  • (b - 0)/(0 - (-a)) = b/a

<u>Rotation 90 clockwise rule:</u>

  • (-a, 0) → (0, a)
  • (0, b) → (b, 0)

<u>The slope of line t:</u>

  • (0- a)/(b - 0) = -a/b = -a/b

<u>The product of slopes:</u>

  • b/a*(-a/b) = -1

Y=1/3x-3<br> Y=-x+5 <br> How do I solve
ehidna [41]

Since both equations are equal to y, we can just combine them like this:

1/3x-3=-x+5

1/3x=-x+8

4/3x=8 (since x is 1x which is 3/3x)

x=6

Plug x back in:

y=-6+5

y=-1

So x=6 and y=-1

Hope this helped!

Please really need the correct answer for this or I'll fail algebra 3
trapecia [35]

Answer:

4\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

S = Arc Lenth

θ = Radians

R = Radius

S = θR

So, now that we understand the formula, we will convert 72° into radians by introducing the equation x*\frac{\pi }{180}, x = 72

S =  72*\frac{\pi }{180} * R

given that R = 10

S = \frac{72*10*\pi }{180}

S = \frac{720*\pi }{180}

We simplify 720 as 180 goes into 720 4 times and we get

S = 4\pi

Hope this helps
