It’s choice A! :) y= -x - 6
When finding the reciprocal, it is basicaly flipping the numerator and denominator of the number. For instance, the reciporcal of 2 is 1/2, because the denominator of 2 would be 1. For an example more straight forward, the reciporacle of 3/5 is 5/3. This applied to the question goes as followed.
1. 3/5 is 5/3
2. 1/4 is 4
3. 1 is 1
Similarly when dividing fractions or an integer to a fraction, the fraction that is dividing the number turns into the reciprocal then you would multiply.
4. 3/(3/4) is 3*4/3= 4
5. 5/(3/4) is 5*(4/3)= 20/3
6. 8/(4/7) is 8*(7/3)= 56/3
7. 6/(3/5) is 6*(5/3)= 10
8. 2/(5/8) is 2*(8/5)= 16/5
9. 4/(8/9) is 4*(9/8)= 9/2
The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
. The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and
so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.
Answer: 8
