Lines a and b are perpendicular. The slope of line a is -2. What is the slope of line b?

Answer:

\sf\boxed{ \sf \dfrac{1}{2} \ is \ the\  slope  }

If lines are parallel or tangent, the slope remains same.

\sf \large\boxed{\sf m_1 \rightarrow  m_2}

If lines are perpendicular or normal, the slope becomes negatively inverse

\sf \large\boxed{\sf m_1 \rightarrow -(\frac{1}{m_2} )}

With this Here the line a is perpendicular to line b,

therefore using formula: \sf \large {-(\dfrac{1}{-2} )} \rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}

When a certain tree was first planted, it was 4 feet tall, and the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year f
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 4 feet

Given that the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 years. At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

Let the rate of growing each year be g.

After 6 years height of tree = 4 + 6g

After 4 years height of tree = 4 + 4g

At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

That is

                4+6g=4+4g+\frac{4+4g}{5}\\\\4+6g=\frac{20+20g+4+4g}{5}\\\\20+30g=24+24g\\\\6g=4\\\\g=\frac{2}{3}ft/year

Option D is the correct answer.

P and q are points on the line y=2-4X <br><br>Draw the line y= 2-4X for vales of x from -2 to 2
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

`The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

P and q are points on the line y=2-4X. complete the coordinates of P and Q, P(0, ) Q( ,0)

Draw the line y= 2-4X for vales of x from -2 to 2

Solution:

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

Where y and x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (that is value of y when x = 0).

The line of y = 2 - 4x is drawn by finding the corresponding values of y for x from -2 to 2 and plotting on a graph.

x:   -2      -1       0        1        2

y:   10      6       2       -2       -6

The value P(0, ) Q( ,0)

The y coordinate of point P is gotten by substituting x = 0:

y = 2 - 4(0) = 2

P = (0, 2)

The x coordinate of point Q is gotten by substituting y = 0:

0 = 2 - 4x

4x = 2

x = 0.5

Q = (0.5, 0)
