The product of the perpendicular lines is a negative one. Then the value of p will be negative 3.75.
<h3>What is coordinate geometry?</h3>
Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space. Using this, it is possible to find the distance between the points, the dividing line is m:n ratio, finding the mid-point of the line, etc.
Given the points K(-2,5), L(1,3) and M(-5, 2p).
If KL is perpendicular to LM. Then we have
The slope of KL will be
KL = (1+2)/(3-5)
KL = -1.5
The slope of LM will be
LM = (1+6)/(3-2p)
LM = 7/(3-2p)
We know the product of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.
KL x ML = -1
-1.5 x 7/(3-2p) = -1
-10.5 = -3 + 2p
2p = -7.5
p = -3.75

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
Here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 4 ] , then
f(b) = f(4) = - 1 ← from table
f(a) = f(3) = - 5 ← from table , then
average rate of change = 
= 
= 4
(-5, 2)(-9,9)
D = √( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
D = √( (-9+5)^2 + (9 - 2)^2 )
D =√( (-4)^2 + (7)^2 )
D = √( 16 + 49 )
D = √65
D = 8
