Answer: y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line, which is y = x-12. The slope here is 1, so the negative inverse would be -1/1, or -1. The perpendicular line would therefore be:

y = -1x + b

We can find b by using the given point (3,-7) as a solution:

y = -1x + b

-7 = -1*3 + b

b = - 4

The equation is therefore y = -x - 4

Assuming the pilcrow is supposed to represent pi:

$\frac{\frac{2}{sec(\frac{\pi}{3})}*(\lim_{x \to 0} x^3+8x+10)^2}{ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{sine(\theta)}{\theta}}\\\frac{\frac{2}{\frac{1}{cosine(\frac{\pi}{3})}}*((0)^3+8(0)+10)^2}{\frac{sine((0))}{(0)}}\\\frac{\frac{2}{\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}}*(0+0+10)^2}{\frac{0}{0}}\\\frac{\frac{2}{2}*(10)^2}{ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{cosine(\theta)}{1}}\\\frac{100}{cosine((0))}\\\frac{100}{1}\\100$

A triangle had two sides of length 10 and 10 what value could the length of the third side be check all that apply

vekshin1

Answer:

10 < x < 20

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of any two sides of a triangle has to be greater than the 3rd side, so the maximum value of the third side in this instance is 19.9999999 because 10 + 10 = 20

Sandra saves 7% of her salary for retirement. This year her salary was $2,000 more than her salary than in the previous year, an

Answer:

2,000
$45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Where x represents the previous year's salary, its amount this year is said to be ...

x + 2000

The equation is trying to reflect the fact that 7% of that is $3,290. The missing number is 2000:

0.07(x +2000) = 3290

Solving for x, we find ...

x = (3290/0.07) -2000 = 45000

Sandra's salary the previous year was $45,000.
