Answer:

-1/2 or -0.5

negative half

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of regular line= (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)

(27-3) / (4 - -8)

24 / (4+8)

24 / 12 = 2

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal

the negative reciprocal of positive 2/1 (2 as a fraction) is:

negative half: -1/2 or -0.5

Write two ratios equivalent to 24 : 9.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

8:3

16:6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).

Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.

1 < 3

Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).

24:9

24/3:9/3

<u>8:3</u>

Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:

<u>8:3</u>

8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2

<u>16:6</u>

<u></u>

So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.
