2x-5y=-3 5x+2y=6 Is this a perpendicular lines ?

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.

During a spring clearance sale, Sears advertise 1/4 off the list of Model II microwave ovens and an additional 1/5 off the sale
ozzi

Answer:

$ 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information above,

List price of model II = $240

Sale price of the clearance sale is 1/4 off the list price of Model II microwave oven and additional 1/5 of the sale price for oven that are scratched and dented.

Therefore,

Let the sale price be X,

= (1/4)*(list price) + (1/5)*X

X = (1/4)*(240) + (1/5)*X

X = 60 + (1/5)X

Solving for X,

X - (1/5)X = 60

(4/5)X = 60

X = (60*5)/4

= $75.

If a jug is 1/5 full and weighs 250g and 4/5 full and weighs 550g how much does the jug weigh empty
Alika [10]
1/5 full =250g
4/5 full =550g
550g-250g=300g=3/5 without jug
1/5 without jug=300g/3=100g
250g-100g=150g

<u>The jug weighs 150g empty</u>
