given,

1st term(a)= -2

2nd term (t2) =-12

3rd term (t3) =-60

4th term(t4)= -120

here common ratio (r)=t2/t1=t4/t3

or, -12/-2= -120/-60

or,6=2

hence,no -12, -60, -120 aren't in a geometric sequence because their common ratio aren't same.

Solve for x. Help please

X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-7 and passes through the point (6, 5)

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a equation of a line

we want to figure out the equation of the perpendicular line passes through the (6,5) points

in order to do so

recall that,

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{m}$

we got from our given equation that m=2

because equation of a line is y=mx+b

thus

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{2}$

remember that, when we want to figure out perpendicular line or parallel line we should the formula given by

$\displaystyle y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

since we got our perpendicular m is -½, $x_1=6$ and $y_1=5$ , substitute

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)$

to get the perpendicular equation you should simplify the above equation to y=mx+b form

distribute -½:

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3$

add 5 to both sides:

$\displaystyle y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 8$

hence,

our answer choice is B

<h3>What is the definition of area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle covers is the space it takes up inside the boundaries of its four sides. The dimensions of a rectangle determine its area. In general, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and breadth of the rectangle.

The formula of area of rectangle is $length \times breadth$ $unit^2$
