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

3 1/2 - 1 1/3 x x= 1
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is \frac{15}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

<u>The expression is written </u>

3\dfrac{1}{2} - 1\dfrac{1}{3} × x = 1

Or, 1\dfrac{1}{3} × x = 3\dfrac{1}{2} - 1

Or, \frac{(1\times 3) + 1}{3} × x = \frac{(3\times 2) + 1}{2} - 1

Or, \dfrac{4}{3} × x = \dfrac{7}{2} - 1

Or,  \dfrac{4}{3} × x = \dfrac{7-2}{2}

Or, \dfrac{4}{3} × x = \dfrac{5}{2}

∴ x = \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{4}{3}}

Or, x = \frac{5\times 3}{2\times 4}

I.e x = \frac{15}{8}

So, The value of x = \frac{15}{8}

Hence The value of x for the given expression is \frac{15}{8} Answer
