Answer:

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular means = slope_1 \times sope_2 = -1\\

                                -2 \times slope_2 = -1\\\\slope_2 = \frac{1}{2}

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciproclas. That means their product equals -1.

If you know the slope of a line, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, flip the slope and change the sign.

Given line: slope = -2

-2 is the same as -2/1

Flip it: -1/2

Change the sign: 1/2

Answer: 1/2

Solve for x.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 0.4

0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)

-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4

0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4

Convert to fraction

2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4

Add 1/5 to both sides

-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20

2/5x = -26/20

Convert to decimal

0.4x = -1.3

-1.3/0.4 = -3.25

x = -3.25

Pls help in this aaaaaa
ivanzaharov [21]
The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).

Error in question aside, and  ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.

Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.
