Answer:

-8/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes., meaning the signs are opposite, and the numerator and denominator are flipped.

Here's another example:

If line a had a slope of 4/5, line b would have a slope of -5/4, if the lines are perpendicular.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

73 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Hypotenuse² = 48² + 55²

Hypotenuse² = 5329

Hypotenuse = sqrt(5329)

Hypotenuse = 73 in

Answer the question from the picture below

We can see that the slope of this line is -2 and that there is no y intercept. The inequality for this line should be $y \geq -2$ . This is because the shaded side is on the right side of the line, indicating all numbers greater than or equal to the line that satisfy the inequality. If it were a dotted line then it would be $y > -2$ , but since it isn't, your answer is $y \geq -2$ . Hope this helps.
