Answer:

There is not a slope perpendicular to the lie x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, you are given a line, x = -6.

This is in fact a line with an undefined slope. The slope for a perpendicular intersection is the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

Eg. If you have the line y = 2x

The reciprocal is y = 1/2x, the opposite means negative

So the slope that would intersect this line perpendicularly is y = -1/2x.

There is an undefined slope in this, therefore, you cannot find the slope for a line perpendicular to x = -6.

If it were an option, I would choose "no slope"

Answer:

The area is 432cm squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, first you split the figure into 2 rectangles.

The rectangle facing up would be 8cm by 30cm, and the rectangle pointing to the left would be 8cm by 24cm (because you subtract 8 by 32). Next, with those numbers, you can easily find the area. 8cm x 30cm equals to 240cm squared, and 8cm x 24cm equals to 192cm squared. Lastly, you add the both of the areas together, 240cm and 192cm, and you get 432cm squared.

Pablo graphs a system of equations. One equation is quadratic and the other equation is linear. What is the greatest number of p

Nady [450]

For this case we have the following type of equations:
Quadratic equation:
$y = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
$
Linear equation:
$y = mx + b
$
We observe that when equating the equations we have:
$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = mx + b
$
Rewriting we have:
$ax ^ 2 + (b-m) x + (c-b) = 0
$
We obtain a polynomial of second degree, therefore, the maximum number of solutions that we can obtain is 2.
Answer:
The greatest number of possible solutions to this system is:
c.2
