Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. I would first write it out as fraction
2/1 divided by 2/5
2. When dividing fractions you need to find the reciprocal (opposite of or switched) of the fraction then multiply the two fractions together
2/1 divided by 5/2 <------- that's the reciprocal of 2/5
3. Now multiply
2 5 10
- x - = - = 5
4. 5 is your answer! :)
1 2 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 2 is, as you can see, parallel to the y-axis.
perpendicular to this (= crosses the original line in an angle of 90 degrees) is then a line parallel to the x-axis.
that means y is constant. all points on that line will have the same y value.
and we know one point already : (3, -2)
so all points of the perpendicular line will have y = -2
and that is the equation of the perpendicular line :
y = -2
