Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.
The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.
In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.
5 is to 7 as is to 49 is to 51
Answer:
x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4x
2/3x + 6 = 3/4x
3/4 - 2/3 = 1/12
6 = 1/12x
Multiply 6 by 12 to get x
x = 72
The answer is A
Domain: (0, infinity)
