Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of -5/6?

Answers

Answer:

Line LM

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know what the slope is of a line that would be perpendicular to a line with a slope of -5/6. To find this, we take the reciprocal and multiply it by -1. Therefore, the line we are looking for needs to have a slope of 6/5.

Based on the fact that the slope is positive, we can eliminate lines PQ and JK as they have a negative slope. This leaves us with lines LM and NO.

To find out whether or not it is between LM and NO, you could eyeball it by looking at the graph and simply counting which might be faster if you understand how to do that (rise/run), or you can use the pair of coordinates given to you on each line to calculate for slope.

Line LM - [tex]\frac{-3-3}{-5-0}=\frac{-6}{-5}=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Line NO - [tex]\frac{-5-0}{-6-0}=\frac{-5}{-6}=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Based on this, we know that line LM is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of -5/6.

56x + 8
15x2 + 9x

Answers

Answer:

56x² + 8x

(second option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

area: length × width

length: 7x + 1

width: 8x

(8x)(7x + 1)

{distribute 8x}:

(8x)(7x):  8x × 7x = 8 · 7 · x · x = 56 · x · x = 56x²

(8x)(1) = 8x

area = 56x² + 8x

so, the area of this rectangle is 56x² + 8x

find the measure of angle S and angle TRS pls help

Answers

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

since angle on straight line is 180° you take the sum of the exterior angle of R and its interior angle then divide both sides by the coefficient of y to find y then things get easier from there

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan

7y and 5y are made on the same straight line. Therefore they are supplementary and add to 180 degrees. <s has to be found by finding 3x and 5y first. Find <s by solving 3y + 5y + x = 180 degrees.

Solution

7y + 5y = 180 degrees               Combine the left

12y = 180 degrees                      Divide by 12

12y/12 = 180/12

y = 15

3y + 5y + x = 180                         Combine the left side

8y + x = 180                                  Substitute 15 for y

8*15 + x = 180                               Combine

120 + x = 180                                Subtract 120 from both sides

120 -120 +x =180 - 120                 Combine

x  = 60

Answer

s = 60 degrees

If a person is chosen at random in this survey, what is the P(decaf or sugar)?

HELP PLS!

Answers

The value of the probability P(decaf or sugar) is 0.41

How to determine the probability?

From the table, we have:

P(decaf) = 0.05 + 0.08 + 0.09 = 0.22

P(sugar) = 0.19 + 0.08 = 0.27

P(decaf and sugar) = 0.08

The required probability is:

P = P(decaf) + P(sugar) - P(decaf and sugar)

This gives

P = 0.22 + 0.27 - 0.08

Evaluate

P = 0.41

Hence, the value of the probability P(decaf or sugar) is 0.41

what is the area of a triangle (-4,-5),(3,-3),(3,-7)?

i will give brainliest please help quick

Answers

The area of a triangle with vertices (-4,-5), (3,-3), and (3,-7) will be 7 square units.

What is the area of the triangle?

The vertices of the triangle are (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃).

Then the area of the triangle will be

Area = 1/2 |[(x₁y₂ + x₂y₃ + x₃y₁) - (y₁x₂ + y₂x₃ + y₃x₁)]|

We have

(x₁, y₁) ⇒ (-4, -5)

(x₂, y₂) ⇒ (3, -3)

(x₃, y₃) ⇒ (3, -7)

Then the area will be

Area = 1/2[{(-4) x (-3) + (3) x (-7) + (3) x (-5)} – {(-5) x (3) + (-3) x (3) + (-7) x (-4)}]

Area = 1/2 [(12 – 9 – 21) – (- 15 – 9 + 28)]

Area = 1/2[-18 + 4]

Area = 1/2 × 14

Area = 7 square units

For finding slope

When h = 0 ,  [f(x + h) - f(x)]/h  = 2x +2 for the given expression.

The missing expression is  f(x) = x² + 2x.

What is formula of difference quotient ?

f(x+h)-f(x)/h is called the formula of difference quotient.

When h---> 0 ,

the expression f'(x) = (f(x-h) - f(x)) / h is the equation for tangent to the line

Here the the expression is

f(x) = x² + 2x

Determining f(x + h) by substituting x = x + h on both sides of the given f(x).

Then f(x + h) = (x + h)² + 2(x + h)

= x² + 2xh + h² + 2x + 2h

the difference f(x + h) - f(x).

f(x + h) - f(x) = [x²  + 2xh + h²  + 2x + 2h] - [x² + 2x]

= 2xh + h² + 2h

Divide the difference from h as in the formula of difference coefficient

[f(x + h) - f(x)]/h = (2xh + h² + 2h) / h

= 2x + h + 2

So, when h = 0 ,  [f(x + h) - f(x)]/h  = 2x +2

How to determine the transformation?

From the attached figure, we can see that:

ABCD and A'B'C'D' are on either sides of the y-axis.

This means that ABCD is first reflected across the y-axis.

ABCD is 2 units from the y-axis, while A'B'C'D' is 1 unit from the y-axis.

This means that the reflection is followed by a translation.

What is a scatter plot?

Scatter plots are graphs that represent individual points of data and are labeled with quantitative values on both the co-ordinate axes, meaning that there is only one projection on the x-axis and one projection on the y-axis for each point.

We have a scatter plot shown in the table:

1) As we can see in the scatter plot all data are within 3 standard deviations of the mean:

Standard deviation = SD

6SD(x) = 40

SD(x) = 40/6 = 6.67

6SD(y) = 20

SD(y) = 20/6 = 3.37

2) Slope of the line:

= SD(x)/SD(y) = (20/6)/(40/6) = 1/2 = 0.5

3) It is plausible to take the slope of the line as 0.5 because the slope of the line is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

Thus, the plausible values for the SD(x) are 6.67 and for SD(y) is 3.37, and the slope of the line is 0.5.

Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi."What is the purpose of the authors description of the beauty of the combs?The author wants the reader to understand Jims disappointment in Della.The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she cant use them.The author is contrasting Della's poverty with her extravagant tastes.This description is included as a part of the setting of the story.
