Two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is - 1.
So, you just need to find the slope of each line and find out the product of their slopes.
I will do one example for you.
L1: y = 3x + 5
L2: y = - 3x + 14
L3: y = -x/3 + 14
The slope of a line is the coefficient of the x.
So the slopes are:
L1: slope 3
L2: slope -3
L3: slope -1/3
So now multiply the slopes of each pair of lines:
L1 and L2: 3 * (-3) = - 9 => No, they are not perpendicular
L2 and L3: (-3) * (-1/3) = 1 => No, they are not perpendicular
L1 and L3: (3) * (-1/3) = -1 => Yes, they are penpendicular.
Answer:
The three unknown angles X, Y , and Z are:
X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's name X the measure of the first angle, Y the measure of the second one, and Z that of the third one.
Then we can create the following equations:
X = 2 Y
Z = 100 + Y
and
X + Y + Z = 180
So we use the first equation and the second one to substitute for the variable X and Z in the thrid equation:
2 Y + Y + (100 + Y) = 180
4 Y + 100 = 180
4 Y = 80
Y = 80/4 = 20
Then X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120
Greetings!We can factor this expression/ the GCF is:
Hope this helps.
