Two lines y_1,y_2 are perpendicular if their slopes are in a relation m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}.

So we need to find slopes and if the above relation holds then we can claim the lines are perpendicular.

To find slopes, use slope formula

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The first slope of a line passing through PQ is

m_1=\frac{-13-(-9)}{6-2}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1

The second slope of a line passing through RS is

m_2=\frac{-1-(-5)}{5-1}=\frac{4}{4}=1

Now check if m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2} is true

-1=-\frac{1}{1}\implies -1=-1

This means the two lines <em>are</em> perpendicular.

Hope this helps.

If I can paint a wall in 20 min and my friend can paint a wall in 30 min. How many minutes would it take for us to paint a wall
ra1l [238]

Answer: 12\ \text{min}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 20 min and 30 min for  a person and his friend to paint a wall individually  i.e.

In 1 min they cover \frac{1}{20} part and \frac{1}{30} part of wall respectively.

If the work together, 1 minute work is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{60}

Time required will be reciprocal of it

\Rightarrow \dfrac{60}{5}=12\ \text{min}

The formula Y=X⁴-4X³+3X² is growing?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The best way to know weather the formula y=x⁴-4x³+3x² is growing or not, is by graphing it.

As you can see in the attached picture:

  • For -inf<x< 0 the graph decreases.
  • For 0<x<0.634 the graph is growing
  • For 0,634<x<2.366 the graph decreases
  • For 2.366<x<+inf the graph is growing.

Therefore, the polynomial grows in the intervals stated before.
