Mathematics

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)

Use (r,16) to solve y=2x-4
damaskus [11]
(x,y) = (r,16)

With this knowledge, plug in r for x, and 16 for y

16 = 2(r) - 4

Isolate the r, add 4 to both sides

16 (+4) = 2r - 4 (+4)

20 = 2r

Divide 2 from both sides

20/2 = 2r/2

r = 20/2

r = 10

hope this helps

a ladder leans against the sufe of a house. the angle of elevation of the ladder is 70 degrees when the bottom of the ladder is
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{12}{l} ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = \frac{12}{cos70} ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long

F(x)=-3x+21,find x when f(x)=6
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=-3x+21,

f(x)=6 = -3x+21

6 = -3x+21

Subtract 21 from each side

6-21 = -3x+21-21

-15 = -3x

Divide each side by -3

-15/-3 = -3x/-3

5 = x
