Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y gives ...

20y = 2x +6

y = 2/20x +6/20 = 1/10x +3/10

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x: 1/10. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/(1/10) = -10.

The perpendicular line has a slope of -10.

I personally would say neither because they either aren't the same or there not equivalent.

Calculate the volume of a cylinder of height 7 cm and radius 4 cm (take π)

belka [17]

Answer:

351.68

Step-by-step explanation:

v= $\pi$ r^2h

v= 3.14(4)^2(7)

v= 3.14(16)7

v= 3.14 times 112

v=351.68

hope this helps

It really depends on what it is for. i would say reasoning for school work. bc it is better to go with facts.

Solve for each System of Equation

weeeeeb [17]

using substitution.

$\bf \begin{cases}5x-2y=4\\2x-y=1\end{cases}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\\stackrel{\textit{solving the 2nd equation for \underline{y}}}{2x-y=1\implies 2x-1=\boxed{y}}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{substituting the found \underline{y} in the 1st equation}}{5x-2\left( \boxed{2x-1} \right)=4}\\\\\\5x-4x+2=4\implies x=4-2\implies \blacktriangleright x = 2\blacktriangleleft$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{now, we substitute the found \underline{x} in the 1st equation}}{5(2)-2y=4\implies 10-2y=4}\implies 10-4=2y\\\\\\6=2y\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=y\implies \blacktriangleright 3=y \blacktriangleleft\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\~\hfill (2,3)~\hfill$
