What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the equation y=3x+2?

1 answer:

6 0

The given equation of the line is in slope - intercept form where the slope is 3 and the y - intercept is 2. The line perpendicular to the given has a slope which is equal to its negative reciprocal. Thus, the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 3x + 2 is -1/3. The answer is letter D. -1/3

What is the measure of arc EF in circle H? O 41° O 50° O 114 O 1730

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The measure of arc EF = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Arc DE = 73°

$\angle FED=123\°$

Now, we know from central angle theorem that the measure of central angle by an arc is twice that of the angle made by the same arc at the circumference. Therefore,

$\textrm{Major Arc DGF}=2\times \angle FED\\\textrm{Major Arc DGF}=2\times 123\\\textrm{Major Arc DGF}=246\°$
