What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/2x + 5

Answers

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line perpendicular to another line, we simply need to find the inverse negative of the slope of the first one. This makes sense if you visualize it on a graph or in your head.

The slope of the line given is -1/2.

To find the inverse negative we first inverse the number, then take then negatuve of that (or opposite order).

The inverse of -1/2 is, -2 (switch the numerator and denominator or do to the power of -1, ^-1).

The negative of -2 is, 2.

Therefore the slope of the line perpendicular to y = -1/2x + 5 is 2.

Sierra has plotted two vertices of a rectangle at (3,2) and (8,2). What is the length of the sides of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two vertices of a rectangle at (3,2) and (8,2). We are to calculate the distance between the two points.

Using the formula

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

D = √(2-2)²+(8-3)²

D = √0+5²

D =  √25

D = 5

Hence the length of the side of the rectangle is 5units

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by the formula,

Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

a). A(-6, -4), B(-3, -1)

Distance between A and B = [tex]\sqrt{(-6+3)^2+(-4+1)^2}[/tex]

                                             = [tex]\sqrt{9+9}[/tex]

                                             = 3√2

                                             = 4.2 units

b). C(3.5, 1), D(-4, 2.5)

Distance between C and D = [tex]\sqrt{(3.5+4)^2+(1-2.5)^2}[/tex]

                                              = [tex]\sqrt{58.5}[/tex]

                                              = 7.65

                                              ≈ 7.7 units

c). Distance between X(5, -5) and Y(-5, 5)

    Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(5+5)^2+(-5-5)^2}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\sqrt{200}[/tex]

                    = 10√2

                    = 14.14

                    ≈ 14.1 units

Mrs. Leary wants to buy some plants and potting soil. Each plant costs $2.50 and each bag of potting soil costs $3.25. Mrs. Leary wants to spend no more than $50. If Mrs. Leary buys 4 bags of potting soil, which inequality represents the number of plants, p, that she may buy?

Answers

Answer: Ok while i was working out this problem I started by multiplying so i started by 5

2.50 x 5 = 12.5

3.25 x 5 = 16.25 then I added then and got 28.75. So i was like i should go higher. I picked 7.

2.50 x 7 = 17.5

3.25 x 7 = 22. 75 then I added those two and got 40.25 when i got that I was like yes, Im getting closer. So i picked 9 then I got..

2.50 x 9 = 22.5

3.25 x 9 = 29.25 and that equaled 51.75

so then i was like oh! Taxes so I think the answer might be 8. 46 plus tax lol.

1) Mark and Huong are selling flower bulbs for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy packages
tulip bulbs and packages of crocus bulbs. Mark sold 9 packages of tulip bulbs and 1 package of
crocus bulbs for a total of $127. Huong sold 6 packages of tulip bulbs and 6 packages of crocus
bulbs for a total of $186. Find the cost each of one package of tulips bulbs and one package of
crocus bulbs.

Answers

Answer:

Package of tulip bulbs = $12

Package of crocus = $19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = cost of a package of bulbs

     c = cost of a crocus package

Mark:   (1)   9b + c = 127          Huong:  (2)   6b + 6c = 186

                          c = 127 - 9b                        6b + 6(127 - 9b) = 186

                                                                      6b + 762 - 54b = 186

                                                                                      - 48b = -576

                                                                                           b = 12

                          c = 127 -9(12)

                          c = 127 - 108 = 19

The population of a town is 75 000 and decreases 15% each year. Complete the exponential function that models the population afterx years
f(x) = 75,000

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential function of the form:

[tex]y=a(1-r)^x[/tex] where a is the initial value and (1 - r) is the growth rate (which in our case is a decay, actually!). Our initial value is 75000 and our rate of change in the population is 15% or .15. Filling in our model:

[tex]y=75000(1-.15)^x[/tex] and simplifying:

[tex]y=75000(.85)^x[/tex] This turns out to be a decay problem because the value inside the parenthesis is less than 100%.

x is our time, so the model is as stated above.
