Determine slope of any line perpindicular to GH. (-1,2) (-2,-1)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Perpendicular slope = – 1/m = -1/3 = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-1,2)
  • (-2,-1)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-2,\:-1\right)

m=\frac{-1-2}{-2-\left(-1\right)}

m=\frac{-1-2}{-2-\left(-1\right)}

m=3

We know that a line perpendicular to another line contains a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line, such as:

slope = m = 3

perpendicular slope = – 1/m = -1/3 = -1/3

Thus, the slope of any line perpendicular to GH = -1/3

The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15 kg. How many
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

3,375 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15 kg

Number of folding chairs : weight

= 25 : 15

How many chairs can be loaded on a truck having a capacity of

carrying 2025 kg load?

Let number of folding chairs = x

Number of folding chairs : weight = x : 2025

Equate both ratios

25 : 15 = x : 2025

25/15 = x/2025

Cross product

25 * 2025 = 15 * x

50,625 = 15x

x = 50,625/15

x = 3,375

Number of folding chairs = 3,375 chairs

I don’t know what to do here
Rudik [331]
The answer is CD = √3

This is because of the fact that a 30-60-90 right triangle has proportions of 1-√3-2 based on the length opposite of the angle. Since we are given the segment opposite to the right angle as 2, we know that we can use the base numbers for the proportions to find the rest. Since CD is opposite of the 60 degree angle, it must be √3.
