What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line passing through the points P (2,5) and Q (-3,7)?

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular line means the two lines' slope when multiplied together gives a answer of -1.

hence, we just need to find the slopw of the line connecting the 2 points and form an equation with -1 to get the slope the question wants.

slope of the line PQ:

(7-5)/(-3-2) = -2/5 (slope formula)

slope of the perpendicular line:

-2/5 x slope = -1

slope = (-1)/(-2.5) = 2/5

Which function could be represented by the graph on the coordinate plane? 
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

The axis of symmetry is equal to

x=h

In this problem the parabola open upward

so

the coefficient a is positive

The coordinates of the vertex will be (h,-k) (the y-coordinate is negative)

so

the equation will be of the form

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k

Mickey and Donald earn $53 weekend after taxes Mickeys share is seven dollars greater than Donald's how much does Donald earn ea
igor_vitrenko [27]

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Money earned by Mickey and Donald = $53

Let,

Share of Mickey = x

Share of Donald = y

According to given statement;

x+y=53    Eqn 1

x = y+7     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+7)+y=53\\y+7+y=53\\2y=53-7\\2y=46

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{46}{2}\\y=23

Putting y=23 in Eqn 2

x=23+7\\x=30

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.
