Answer:

m = - 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals, which means that their product is -1

We can write the equation

4*x - 5*y + 13 = 0

as: 5*y = 4*x + 13 or

y = (4/5)*x + 13 (1)

Equation (1) is the equation of a straight line in its slope point form, 4/5 is the slope, according to this the slope of a perpendicular line is

-5/4

Tammy and Wyatt are sales associates at the same used car dealership. Their supervisor is planning to promote the employee with

lisov135 [29]

I think the answer is D. The other answers are unreasonable. Wyatt would not get the promotion and just because Tammy's lowest value is bigger than Wyatt's doesn't mean that Tammy gets the promotion. The only reasonable answer is D.

A field is in the shape of a rectangle 5/6 mile long and 3/4 mile wide. What is the area of the field? *

Lynna [10]

Area = length x width

Area = 5/6 x 3/4

= (5x3) / (6x4)

= 15/24

= 5/8 square miles

For f(x) = 2x+1 and g(x) = x+14, find (gof)(x).

Goryan [66]

Answer: OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe that the exercise provides you two Linear functions.

The first Linear function is the function f(x). This is:

$f(x) = 2x+1$

And the other Linear function is the function g(x):

$g(x) = x+14$

In order to find $(gof)(x)$ , you need to follow these steps shown below:

<u>Step 1</u>:

You must substitute the function f(x) into the function g(x); this means that the function f(x) will be in the place of the variable "x" of the function g(x); as you can observe below:

$(gof)(x) = (2x+1)+14$

<u>Step 2</u>:

Finally you must combine the like terms (You can notice that the like terms are 1 and 14; then you must add them). Therefore, you get that $(gof)(x)$ is:

$(gof)(x) = 2x+1+14\\\\(gof)(x) = 2x+15$
