Answer . m= -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal. Meaning that the numerator and denominator are switched and the sign of the slope becomes the opposite. (if the slope was -8, then the perpendicular slope would be 1/8)

$p^{3} \frac{q^{5}}{p^{2}}q^{4} \\ \\ \frac{p^{3}}{p^{2}}*q^{5}*q^{4} \\ \\ p^{3-2}*q^{5+4} \\ \\ \boxed{pq^{9}}$

the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44 cm. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Gnom [1K]

Hello there
We can say that,
The length = 3u
The width= 1u
3u + 1u +3u +1u= 44cm
8u= 44cm
1u= 44cm / 8
= 5.5cm
Length= 5.5 cm x 3
=16.5 cm
Width= 5.5 cm

Hope this helps :))
