Answer:

C.) -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

  • Opposite = opposite signs (+ & -)
  • Reciprocal = flipped positions in fractions (1/2 ⇒ 2/1)

Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 3 must be -1/2.

5.3c+9.2(166-c)=1254.2
5.3c+1527.2-9.2c=1254.2
5.3c-9.2c=1254.2-1527.2

HELP ME PLEASE!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
Rama09 [41]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a right angled triangle so you use the pythagorean theory

which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

you have c and b already. c is the hypotenuse.

a^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

a^2 + 256 = 400

a^2 = 400 - 256

a^2 = 144

then you square root 144 and get..

a = 12

Give an example of how you use positive and negative numbers, and explain the meaning of 0 in your example.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Meanings of the numbers:

Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.

How I would use them in every day life:

I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas

I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.

Hope this helps! (^-^)
