What do we know about those two lines?
They are perpendicular, meaning they have the same slope.
We know the slope of both is not zero (neither is vertical).
Therefore either
1) Both slopes are positive and therefore the product is positive
2) Both slopes are negative and therefore the product is positive (minus by a minus is a plus)
For the y intercepts, we know that the line P passes through the origin.
Therefore its Y intercept is zero.
[draw it if this is not obvious and ask where does it cross the y axis]
Therefore the Y intercept of line K and line P is zero.
[anything multiplied by a zero is a zero]
So we know that the product of slopes is positive, and we know that the product of Y intercepts is zero.
So the product of slopes must be greater.
Answer A
Answer:
X Intercept: (-10,0), Y Intercept: (0,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, firstly you need to rewrite the equation to make it easier. After rewriting it you have the equation y=x/5+2 by adding the x to the right side and dividing everything by 5. Now simply plug in your zeroes in their respective places. For the x intercept, your y value must equal 0 so we have the equation 0=x/5+2. After solving it, x must be -10 in order for our y value to be 0 getting us for the x intercept (-10,0). For the y intercept, your x value must equal zero so you simply subsitute zero in the equation for x which I will do here: y=0/5+2. If our x value is zero, consequently, our y value will be 2 getting us for the y intercept, (0,2).
You can just plug in one of the points to each equation until you get an equality that is true.
I chose to use (-3,2)
1. 5x+3y=1
5(-3)+3(2)=1
(-15)+ 6 = 1
(-9) = 1 <<<(FALSE)
2. x+5y=3
(-3)+5(2)= 3
(-3)+10= 3
7=3 <<<(FALSE)
3. 3x+5y=1
3(-3) + 5(2)= 1
(-9)+10=1
1=1<<<(TRUE)
So, the correct equation is 3x+5y=1.
Make sense?
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
6/10=9/x
cross multiply
6x=9*10
6x=90
x=90/6x=15
