Fone the slope of a line that is perpendicular x = -12

Mathematics

Answer:

m [slope] = 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is perpendicular (90 degrees, forms a right angle) to another, the slope of the line must be an opposite reciprocal of the other. The opposite reciprocal of m is -1/m.

An opposite reciprocal is created by flipping the numerator and denominator, and making it negative.

Therefore, if m is -12 it's opposite reciprocal is -1/-12 = 1/12.

Without graphing, determine whether A(5,1) B(1,0), C(3,3) lie on the same line.Explain your reasoning

liubo4ka [24]

No they don't lie on the same line because all coordinate points would be at different distances from the origin. The only way a point could be at the same line as the others would be they would have to have the same x- or y- axis points. (For example: 6,5; 3,5; and 2,5 would all be on the same line, horizontally, because the 5 in all three coordinates refers to the y- axis aka the horizontal axis

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members. This year the club had 24 members. Find the percent of decrease in the number of m

Gnom [1K]

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Members last year = Old value = 30

Members this year = New year = 24

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 24 - 30

Change = -6

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{6}{30}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{600}{30}$

Decrease percent = 20%

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.
