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

Answer : Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 2

The building is 231.7 m far away.Distance can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in physics or common use.

<h3>What is distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the space between two objects or locations. |AB| is a symbol for the distance between two points A and B.

Given data;

Speed of sound = 331 meters per second

Time = 0.7 sec

The distance from the building is;

d=v×t

d=331 m/sec × 0.7 sec

d=231.7 m

Hence the building is 231.7 m far away.

If y is directly proportional to x squared and y = 3 when x = 2, what is y when x = 8?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

y = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

y is directly proportional to x²

As given,

when y = 3 => x = 2

So, 3 = 4 - 1

Which means the relation can be written as :-

y = x² - 1

Substituting x = 8

y = (8)² - 1

y = 64 - 1

y = 63

(-3,-14) and (0-9) Pls help!!!

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y = (5/3)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope (rise over run):

m = (-9 - (-14)) / (0 - (-3)) = (-9 + 14) / (0 + 3) = 5/3

Use the point-slope form equation with the given points (-3, -14):

y + 14 = (5/3)(x + 3)

or optionally in slope intercept form:

y = (5/3)x - 9

Find the product of 30−−√ and 610−−√. Express it in standard form (i.E., ab√).

Zina [86]

we are given

$\sqrt{30} *\sqrt{610}$

we can radical formula

$\sqrt{a} *\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a*b}$

we get

$\sqrt{30} *\sqrt{610}=\sqrt{30*610}$

$\sqrt{30} *\sqrt{610}=\sqrt{3*61*100}$

we can also write as

$\sqrt{30} *\sqrt{610}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{3*61}$

$\sqrt{30} *\sqrt{610}=10\sqrt{183}$ ............Answer
