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

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

Quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram. Solve for x (3x+5) (9x-17)

Naddika [18.5K]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this equation.

Quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that the sum of two consecutive interior angles of a parallelogram is 180 degrees because they are supplementary angles.

In parallelogram QRST,

$m\angle Q+m\angle T=180^\circ$

$(3x+5)^\circ+(9x-17)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(12x-12)^\circ=180^\circ$

On comparing both sides, we get

$12x-12=180$

$12x=180+12$

$12x=192$

Divide both sides by 12.

$x=\dfrac{192}{12}$

$x=16$

Therefore, the value of x is 16.
