Answer:

the perpendicular slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope .

Step-by-step explanation:

example:  lets use the points (5,3) ( 10,7)

                 The slope is 5/4

so we need a line of    -4/5 (perpendicular) that passes through 5,3

Hope that helps

Answer:

Write the new equation in slope-intercept form.  Replace the old slope with the new slope.  Replace the y-intercept's value with a variable (b).

The sum of two numbers is 52. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?
JulsSmile [24]
<span> Let x be the smaller number.
Then 3x is the larger number.
We also know that the smaller added to the larger is 52, or:
x + 3x = 52
4x =52
x = 13
Therefore the smaller is 13, the larger is 3(13)=39. </span>

Find the lengths of the missing sides if side a is opposite angle a, side b is opposite angle b, and side c is the hypotenuse.
konstantin123 [22]
Hello Melissamv9321, <span>find the lengths of the missing sides if side a is opposite angle a, side b is opposite angle b, and side c is the hypotenuse</span> <span>In this right triangle, you are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c, and one leg, b. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle. To find the length of leg a, substitute the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem. Solve for a2.</span>

Can someone pls help me out? im begging you

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole thing is 360 degrees. To me, it looks like the angles in the middle are divided in to 4 equal parts. 360/4=90. Now set the equation equal to 90. 90-6=84, and 84/2=42.

What is the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle DEF. <br> A: 2<br> B: 1/2<br> C: 1/6<br> D: 6
Fudgin [204]
Little tip ** if u r going from a larger shape to a smaller shape, the scale factor is going to be a proper fraction....a number less then 1 but greater then 0

BC = 66......EF = 11.......66 times what is 11
66x = 11
x = 11/66 reduces to 1/6
so 66 * 1/6 = 11

now compare the other sides...
42 * 1/6 = 7.......looks like AC and DF
72 * 1/6 = 12...looks like Ab and DE

so ur multiplying every number in the big triangle by 1/6 , and getting the measures of the little triangle....so ur scale factor is 1/6 <==

disa [49]

they need to be 8 each sides

well if 4 squares are = to 3 and its a cube then all the sides must be even

so if 3x2=6 and you need the square to have 6 as its sides then you need to get 4x2 which = 8
