Let's use an example
Say we had two lines P and Q. If P has slope 2/5, then Q must have slope -5/2 in order for P and Q to be perpendicular.
Note how -5/2 is the negative reciprocal of 2/5. In other words, you flip the fraction and the sign to go from either slope.
Another thing to notice is that the two slopes multiply to -1. This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines as long as neither line is vertical.
She is not wrong. 12.6 is less than 12.63
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A pear gives $8/3$ ounces of juice per pear. An orange gives $8/2=4$ ounces of juice per orange. If the pear-orange juice blend used one pear and one orange each, the percentage of pear juice would be
{8/3}/{8/3+4} X 100 = {8}/{8+12} X 100 = 40%
