Answer:

- \frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{5}

Combine like terms . What is a simpler form of the expression? 2(x/2 -5)-3/2(x+7/4). Please Explain.

Are you able to expand everything first? from there you would be able to combine line terms. basically if you have 3x+2x it would combine to 5x because they have x in them.

PLEASE HELP!
Andrej [43]

Answer:

For the circle with the diameter of 7cm, the <u>area is about 38.48cm</u> and the <u>circumference is about 22cm</u>

For the circle with the diameter of 5cm, the <u>area is about 19.63cm</u> and the <u>circumference is about 15.7cm</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a circle is pi*r^2

The formula to find the circumference is 2*pi*r

r = radius, which can be determined simply by taking the diameter, and dividing it by 2.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (-9,-3) and has a slope of -6?
zmey [24]

Answer: y=-6x-57

Step-by-step explanation: the normal format of a linear equation is

y=(slope)x+y intercept. The slope is -6 so y=-6x+y intercept. Plugging in the cordinates, -3=-9(-6)+y intercept. We'll call the y intercept b. -3=54+b. Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation and you get b=-54. The linear equation is

y=-6x-57.

You can check by plugging in x= -9, and y= -3. -3=54-57. -3=-3

A student solved the following problem and made an error:
liubo4ka [24]

All the steps were correct except the final statement. The mistake was in Line 6.

Line 6 triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFD by SAS.

<span>This does not follow. The SAS postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle is congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle. The student only proved that one side of the triangle (AC) is congruent to the side of another triangle (EF) .</span>
