Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

Please help if you can ik it is Pythagorean theorem
kicyunya [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (1/2)bh ---> h = 2A/b = 2(12 cm^2)/(5 cm) = 4.80 cm

---> x^2 = h^2 + (b/2)^2

= (4.8 cm)^2 + (2.5)^2

= 23.04 cm^2 + 6.25 cm^2

or x = 5.41 cm

Therefore, the perimeter P is

P = 2x + b = 2(5.41 cm) + 5 cm = 15.8 cm
