The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.
Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.
5x - 9y = 1
-9y = -5x + 1
y = 5/9x - 1/9
To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).
To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).
This gives us a new slope of
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is
x² = 14² + 10² = 196 + 100 = 296
Take the square root of both sides
x = 
= 2
Answer:
4x + 3y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x=4-15
2/3x=-11
2=3x*-11
2=-33x
2/-33=-33x/-33
x=-2/33
Answer:
0.6 (terminating), 0.5, 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
I would assume you are wanting these in decimal form. In that case, you would have:
2/3 = 0.6 (terminating)
1/2 = 0.5
3/8 = 0.375
