Find the slope that is PARALLEL and PERPENDICULAR to the equation of the line y = -1/2x+6.

Mathematics
1 answer:
kifflom [539]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

parallel: -1/2

perpendicular: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

lines that are parallel have the same slope because they never intersect

lines that perpendicular, have the opposite reciprocal slope.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope

y = -1/2x + 6

-1/2 is the slope.

the slope in the equation given: -1/2

the slope parallel to the line given : -1/2

the slope perpendicular : opposite reciprocal, so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.

PLS I NEED HELP I GIVE ALL POINTS I HAVE!! :( In 1984 the average American ate 55.7 pounds of chicken. This was 2.8 pounds more
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Production in 2007 reached more than. 91.5 billion pounds. ... billion pounds, with chicken production totaling 36.6 ... Average Annual Per Capita Consumption (in pounds). 0.0. 10.0 ... 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006. Year ... half (55 percent) of all meat consumed are red meat.

simplfying to get 19.8928571429

then you mul·ti·ple equals 155.96

then you subtract and it gets you 52.9

then you add gets you 58.5.

This question is quite simple as long as you know how to do math you should ace all of your math classes..

Mathematics can get pretty complicated. Fortunately, not all math problems need to be inscrutable. Here are five current problems in the field of mathematics that anyone can understand, but nobody has been able to solve.

like...Pick any number. If that number is even, divide it by 2. If it's odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Now repeat the process with your new number. If you keep going, you'll eventually end up at 1. Every time.

Mathematicians have tried millions of numbers and they've never found a single one that didn't end up at 1 eventually. The thing is, they've never been able to prove that there isn't a special number out there that never leads to 1. It's possible that there's some really big number that goes to infinity instead, or maybe a number that gets stuck in a loop and never reaches 1. But no one has ever been able to prove that for certain.

So you're moving into your new apartment, and you're trying to bring your sofa. The problem is, the hallway turns and you have to fit your sofa around a corner. If it's a small sofa, that might not be a problem, but a really big sofa is sure to get stuck. If you're a mathematician, you ask yourself: What's the largest sofa you could possibly fit around the corner? It doesn't have to be a rectangular sofa either, it can be any shape.

This is the essence of the moving sofa problem. Here are the specifics: the whole problem is in two dimensions, the corner is a 90-degree angle, and the width of the corridor is 1. What is the largest two-dimensional area that can fit around the corner?

The largest area that can fit around a corner is called—I kid you not—the sofa constant. Nobody knows for sure how big it is, but we have some pretty big sofas that do work, so we know it has to be at least as big as them. We also have some sofas that don't work, so it has to be smaller than those. All together, we know the sofa constant has to be between 2.2195 and 2.8284.

AM I BEING TO MUCH OF A SMART ALECK, I'm sorry if i am LOL.

but if you need help with another question, you can ask me :)

An equilateral triangle has one length of 3 meters. What are the lengths of the other two sides?​
topjm [15]

Answer:

the other sides are 3 meters as well

Step-by-step explanation: Since it is an equilateral triangle, all the sides will be the same. An Isosceles triangle has two of the sides the same and one different. A scalene triangle has all of the sides different. So, the rest of the sides are 3 meters.
