Find the slope of a line perpendicular to y=⅖x+⅘

2 answers:

6 0

To find the slope perpendicular we will take our original slope (2/5) and find the reciprocal.
To do this, we will flip the slope (so we get 5/2) and make it negative so we get our final perpendicular slope of -5/2

Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.
So the slope of the perpendicular will be:

$\frac{-1}{0.4}$ = -2.5

If we were asked to give the equation of the perpendicular it would be:

-2.5x+ 4/5

An ice chest contains six cans of apple juice, eight cans of grape juice, four cans of orange juice, and two cans of mango ju

Katena32 [7]

6+8+4+2=20
2/20 to grab mango can = 1/10
8/19 (remove one for previous) fro grape juice
6/18 for apple juice = 1/3
1/10*8/19*1/3
=
8/570
=
4/285

Counting clockwise from the minute hand, how many degrees are there from the minute hand to the hour hand at 5 o'clock?

andrew11 [14]

Given that the minute hand is at exactly 12hrs there is a difference of 5 hours in between so you multiply 5over 12 by 360degrees and you get 180degrees

5/12*360=150
