Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation is; y= -3x

or, 3x+y = 0.......... (I)

From equation (I)

$slope(m1) = \frac{ - coeff. \: of \: x}{coeff. \: of \: y}$

$m1= \frac{ - 3}{1}$

Therefore, m= -3

Now, As per the condition of perpendicular lines;

M1*M2 = -1

-3*M2 = -1

M2= -1/-3

Therefore, the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the equation is; 1/3.

Hope it helps...

A triangle with area 45 square inches has a height that is two less than four times the width. Find the width and height of the

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = (b(4b - 2))/2

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

2b + 9 = 0

2b = -9

b = -9/2

If we were looking for zeroes, this would be an answer, but since we're looking for measurement, we don't use negative numbers.

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

2b + 9 = 0

2b = -9

b = -9/2

Please simplify this fraction c:

Liula [17]

F you just want to see the really short way, just skip down to AAAAAAAAAAAA

so, here is the long explanation
exponential properties
$x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}$

don't forget pemdas
2x^2=2(x^2)

so
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$ = $\frac{2 \frac{1}{x^4} }{3xy}= \frac{2}{3x^5y}$

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so we see
the original equatio is
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$

remember
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{a}{c})( \frac{b}{d})$

so we can seperate the constants
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{2}{3})( \frac{x^{-4}}{xy})$

we know that the placeholders cannot affet the position of the constants unless they are grouped together which they are not

terfor the answer must have 2/3 in it
