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.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

  • x = 65, y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system of linear equations:</u>

  • x + y = 90
  • 2x - y = 105

<u>Add up the equations to eliminate y:</u>

  • x + 2x = 90 + 105
  • 3x = 195
  • x = 65

<u>Find y:</u>

  • y + 65 = 90
  • y = 90 - 65
  • y = 25

The temperature at a ski resort was 12°F at 5:00 A.M. If the temperature increased by 1.5°F each hour, what would be the tempera
Mariana [72]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

22.5° F.

Explanation:

The temperature increases 1.5° per hour.  From 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM is 12-5 = 7 hours.  This makes an increase of 1.5(7) = 10.5°.

The temperature started at 12°F; increasing by 10.5° gives us

12+10.5 = 22.5°F.
