P and q are integers that are multiple of 5. Which of this

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

we conclude that the only option (a) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the multiples of 5 are the numbers which we get when we multiply by 5.

i.e.

5×1=5

5×2=10

Here, 5 and 10 are multiples of 5.

Let p and q are integers that are multiples of 5.

Let us consider

p=5

q=10

p+q=5+10

= 15

A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 5 or 0.

i.e. 15/5 = 3

so p+q is divisible by 3 as there is no remainder left.

Therefore, option (a) is true.

Checking the other options:

(b) P –q is divisible by 10

p=5

q=10

p-q=5-10

= -5

Numbers that are divisible by 10 need to be even or divisible by 2 and divisible by 5.

As -5 is not divisible by 2.

So, option b is NOT true.

(c) P +q is divisible by 20

p=5

q=10

p-q=5+10

= 15

Divisibility rule of 20 implies that the last two digits of the number are either 00 or divisible by 20 .

Therefore, P + q= 20 is not divisible by 20 as we don't get the whole number.

(d) P + q is divisible by 25

p=5

q=10

p-q=5+10

= 15

p+q=15 is not divisible by 25 as it does not end with 00, 25, 50, or 75.

so, option d is NOT correct.

Therefore, we conclude that the only option (a) is true.

The equation of line WX is 2x + y = -5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that con

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The third choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:

2x + y = -5 so

y = -2x - 5

The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

$y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x-(-1))$
