We know that :

Ф Product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other should be equal to -1

Let the slope of the line perpendicular to given line be : M

Given equation of the line : y = -1/2x + 4

This line is in the form : y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept

Comparing with y = mx + c :

we can notice that slope of the given line is -1/2

⇒ M × -1/2 = -1

⇒ M × 1/2 = 1

⇒ M = 2

<u>Answer</u> : Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 2

Y or f(x) = -2x+5

the slope goes with the variable (x) and when the value of x is entered it makes a line, and the y-intercept is next to show where the point is on the y - line

What is 18 divided by 2/3?

pishuonlain [190]

Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3= $\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }$
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

$\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27$

Si una persona aprovecha un descuento del 20% y paga 60.000 pesos por una camisa,¿Cuál era el precio de la camisa sin el descuen

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

the price of the shirt without discount is 75,000 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the price of the shirt without discount as follows:

There is a discount of 20%

And the person pays 60,000 pesos after considering the discount

So, the price without discount is

= 60,000 pesos ÷ 0.80

= 75,000 pesos

hence, the price of the shirt without discount is 75,000 pesos

A drawing of a surfboard in a catalog, it shows its length as 8 4/9 inches. Find the actual length of the surfboard if 1/3 inch

Bond [772]

Answer:

9.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of drawing = 8 4/9 inches

Scale : 1/3 inch in drawing = 3/8 actual length

Length of drawing / drawing scale

8 4/9 = 76/9 inches

Number of 1/3 inches in total length of drawing :

76/9 ÷ 1/3

76/9 * 3 / 1

(76*3) /(9*1) = 228 /9 = 9 3/9 = 9 1/3

9 1/3 * 3/8 foot

(228 / 9) * (3 /8)

(228/3) * (1/ 8)

228 / 24

= 9.5 feet
