Answer:

Proven Below

Step-by-step explanation:

If we rearrange these equations, we get that 3y = 5x + 7 and that 5y = -3x + 4. Next, to find what y equals on both equations, we divide by 3 on both sides of the first equation, where we would get that y = 5/3x + 7/3, and then divide by 5 on both sides of the second equation, where we would get that y = -3/5x + 4/5. Now, to see if two lines are perpendicular to each other, we have to see if the slopes (The number being multiplied by x. Ex.) In the equation y = 3/4x + 4, the slope is 3/4) are opposite reciprocals (If you multiply them and they are equal to -1. Ex.) 3/4 * -4/3 is equal to -1, so they are opposite reciprocals). In this case, we have -3/5 and 5/3 as slopes, and -3/5 * 5/3 is equal to -1, so they are perpendicular.

Answer:

The slope of the first line is 5/3

The slope for the second one is -3/5

If you multiply the 2 slope you have to end up with - 1

So 5/3*(-3/5)=-15/15 which is - 1

So yes the lines are perpenducular

The length of a rectangle is 9 centimeters more than half

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

l = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the width of the rectangle as "w" and the length of the rectangle as "w/2 + 9".

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the value of all of its side lengths. Therefore, we can find the perimeter using 2l + 2w = P.

We can substitute 60 for P and w/2 + 9 for l.

2(w/2 + 9) + 2w = 60
2w/2 + 18 + 2w = 60
w + 18 + 2w = 60
3w + 18 = 60
3w = 42
w = 14

Substitute w = 14 into the equation for length l.

l = w/2 + 9
l = 14/2 + 9
l = 16

The length of the rectangle is 16 cm.

Find sin θ if θ is in Quadrant III and tan θ = . 0.958

Leokris [45]

Use the following identities:
$sec^2 = 1 + tan^2 \\ \\ sec = \frac{1}{cos} \\ \\ sin^2 = 1 - cos^2$
Also because the angle is in quadrant 3, sin must be negative.
Therefore
$sin = - \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{1 + tan^2}}$
Subbing in tan = 0.958
$sin \theta = -0.69178$

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Nifal received $ 4 for washing the first car.

Nifal received $ 5 for washing the second car.

4 and 5 have a sum of 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be rewritten as follows: Find the sum of two consecutive entire numbers equal to 9. That is:

$x + y = 9$
