Answer:
-3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular slopes are reciprocal opposites of the original slope. This means that the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4, and the opposite of 3/4 is -3/4.
(5/3)^-4 * (5/3)^-5 = (5/3)^(-5-4) = (5/3)^-9
(5/3)^-9 = (5/3)^3x
So -9 = 3x
x = -3 answer
The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4
Mult both sides by 4:
8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.
If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"
Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,
2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:
n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
