If a b is orthogonal , a•b will be 0
a•b=1x-3+-3k=0
so k=-1

A concession stand at a baseball game sells hot dogs and boxes of popcorn. Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. The number of popcor

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of hot dogs and y represent the boxes of popcorn.

Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. Hence:

x + y = 9 (1)

He buys popcorn 3 less than twice as many hot dogs. Hence:

y = 2x - 3
2x - y = 3 (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 4, y = 5

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

A table top in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 2250 square centimeters and the shorter base is 80 centimeters. The longe

Citrus2011 [14]

The area of a trapezoid has a formula of:
Area = (a + b) h / 2

Using the formula, we can easily find the height of the trapezoid.
<span>Area = (a + b) h / 2
</span>2250 = (80 + 100) h / 2
2250 = 180h / 2
2250 = 90h
h = 25 centimeters

So the height of the trapezoid is 25 centimeters.

What does the line 4x y = 17 look like?

olganol [36]

The equation must be 4x + y = 17

I will use the y-intercept slope version

y = - 4x + 17

Then the slope is negative (-4) and the y-intercept is 17.

The line passes through the points (0,17) and (0,17/4). The negative slope indicates that the line goes down from left to right (y decreases when x increases).
