What is the slope of the line NP

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The slope of NP is \frac{-5}{7} ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In any square, every two opposite sides are parallel and every two consecutive sides are perpendicular
  • Parallel lines have the same slope
  • The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, which means if the slope of one m, then the slope of the other is \frac{-1}{m} (reciprocal m and change its sign)
  • The rule of the slope of the line which passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

In square MNPR

∵ MN and NP are adjacent sides

∴ MN ⊥ NP

∵ M = (3, 8) and N = (-2, 1)

∴ x1 = 3 and y1 = 8

∴ x2 = -2 and y2 = 1

→ Use the rule of the slope above to find the slope of MN

∴ m(MN) = \frac{1-8}{-2-3}

∴ m(MN) = \frac{-7}{-5}

∴ m(MN) = \frac{7}{5}

∵ MN ⊥ NP

∴ The product of their slopes = -1

→ Reciprocal the slope of MN and change its sign

∴ m(NP) = \frac{-5}{7}

∴ The slope of NP is \frac{-5}{7}

What is the value of x? <br> X=
brilliants [131]

Answer:

x=7

step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5}{40}  =  \frac{3}{2x + 10}

5(2x+10) =3×40

10x + 50 = 120

10x =120-50= 70

x = 70/10= 7

What is 1.75×10^8 in standard form
Bingel [31]
In order to convert scientific notation to standard form, just move the decimal over however many places the exponent is. In this case you move it positively (to the right) 8 places to get 175,000,000

Which function is the inverse of f(x)=2x+3
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=2x+3

Let

y=f(x)

y=2x+3

Exchanges the variables x for y and y for x

x=2y+3

Isolate the variable y

2y=x-3

y=\frac{x-3}{2}

Let

f^{-1}(x)=y

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-3}{2}
