Answer:

- $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{1-(-4)}{1-0}$ = $\frac{1+4}{1}$ = 5

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

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

Your class sells a box of oranges to raise $500 for a field trip.You earn $6.25 for each box of oranges sold.Write and solve an

emmainna [20.7K]

To do this, find the slope, y-intercept, and your goal.

Your goal is 500.
Your slope is 6.25 per orange.
Your y-intercept is 0 (you don't start out with anything.)

So, the inequality is $500 \leq 6.25x$ .

What is a correct congruence statement for the triangles shown? Enter your answer in the box. △QDJ≅△ A triangle Q D J. The b

almond37 [142]

Answer: The correct congruence statement is $\triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW$ .

Explanation:

It is given that A triangle Q D J. The base D J is horizontal and side Q D is vertical. Another triangle M C W is made. The base C W and side M C are neither horizontal nor vertical. Triangle M C W is to the right of triangle Q D J.

The sides Q D and M C are labeled with a single tick mark. The sides D J and C W are labeled with a double tick mark. The sides Q J and M W are labeled with a triple tick mark.

Draw two triangles according to the given information.

From the figure it is noticed that

$QD\cong MC$
