Perpendiculat Line is when both slopes of equation multiplying each others and equal to -1.

\large \boxed{m_1m_2 =   - 1}

For an easier way to understand, a perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope. For example if we are given the equation of y = 2x then the equation that is perpendicular to y = 2x would be y = (-1/2)x.

From both equations. We can either arrange in slope-intercepy form or use the slope formula which is m = -A/B when the equation is in Ax+By+C = 0 or Ax+By = C.

\large{ \begin{cases} 2x - 5y =  - 3 \\  5x + 2y = 6 \end{cases}}

To find if these two lines are perpendicular to each others. Use the slope formula of -A/B.

\large{ \begin{cases} m_1 =  -  \frac{2}{ - 5}  \\ m_2 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  \end{cases}} \\  \large{ \begin{cases} m_1 =   \frac{2}{ 5}  \\ m_2 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  \end{cases}}

Now recall that it is perpendicular when one of them is negative reciprocal of one another (-5/2 is negative reciprocal of -(-2/5) = 2/5 and 2/5 is negative reciprocal of -5/2).

Or in definition of perpendicular lines, both slopes multiply and must equal to -1.

\large{( \frac{2}{5} )( -  \frac{5}{2} ) =  - 1} \\  \large{ - 1 =  - 1}

Thus the equation is true which makes both lines perpendicular to each others.

Answer

  • Both lines are perpendicular to each others.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a. 254.34, b. 56.52

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A = πr^2,

A = 3.14(9^2)

A = 3.14*81

A = 254.34

b. C = πd

C = 18*3.14

C = 56.52
