Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. What that means is if u have a slope of 1/2, to find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign.......flip 2/1, change the sign -2/1 or just -2. So the negative reciprocal for the slope of 1/2 is -2.
A. y = 1/5x + 3.....slope here is 1/5, so for a perpendicular line, u r gonna need an equation with the slope of -5.....and that would be : y + 3 = -5(x + 2).
B. Parallel lines will have the same slope. y = 5x - 2...the slope here is 5...so a parallel line will have a slope of 5.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(8,-2)...x = 8 and y = -2
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
-2 = 5(8) + b
-2 = 40 + b
-2 - 40 = b
-42 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = 5x -42
Answer:
yes you would be correct if they started with zero yards at the beginning
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0.75 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
6/8 is equivalent to 3/4
3 divided by 4 is 0.75
Since 6/8 is equivalent then it is also 0.75
Also 6/8 turn to 3/4 when both the numerator and denominator is divided by 2.
6 divided by 2 is 3
8 divided by 2 is 4
Try plugging in 4,6, and -7 into the x's
