Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.
so first you must find the slope of the line given
the slope formula is
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
now you just plug in the coordinate points that you are given
m=(-2-2)/(0-(-3)
m=-4/3
so the slope of the line given is -4/3, the negative reciprocal of this would be 3/4
The slope of the perpendicular line would be 3/4
I'm not certain how exactly this question is supposed to be answered.
If it wants a ratio, Paul and Jennifer's speeds would be in a ratio of 3:4.
It also could be Paul types 20 words per minute slower than Jennifer.
It could be Paul types 33% slower than Jennifer.
Another answer could be Paul's typing speed is 3/4ths of Jennifer's typing speed.
Feel free to ask any further questions.
Answer:
4 eggs per hen
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need to divide the total number of eggs by the number of hens to see how many each one would produce:
Thus, 64/16 = 4
That gets you 4 eggs per hen!
