One of the criteria for lines being perpendicular is the fact that the slope of the function in a perpendicular line is the inverse of the slope of the first times -1.
And as you can see m (being the slope of the first equation) is the inverse of the second equiation:
[tex]m=\frac{7}{3},m_1=-\frac{1}{m}[/tex][tex]-\frac{1}{m}=-\frac{1}{\frac{7}{3}}=-\frac{3}{7}[/tex]Therefore line 1 is perpendicular to line 2.
Rectangle R measures 18 in by 6 in. Rectangle S is a scaled copy of Rectangle R. Select all of themeasurement pairs that could be the dimensions of Rectangle S.24 in by 8 in9 in by 3 in2 in by 1 in6 in by 2 in3 in by 2 in
In order to find possible dimensions for the scaled rectangle, the proportion between the dimensions of the rectangles must be the same.
So first let's find this proportion for rectangle R:
[tex]\frac{18}{6}=3[/tex]Now, let's find the proportion of the possible options of rectangle S:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{8}=3 \\ \\ \frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \\ \frac{2}{1}=2 \\ \\ \frac{6}{2}=3 \\ \\ \frac{3}{2}=1.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the correct options are the first, second and fourth options.
Downhill RacerA snowboardertravels 105 metersin 7 seconds.A skier travels for4 seconds andcovers 72 metersHow far will a skier travel in 2minutes? Explain how you figured it out.
To be able to determine the distance that the skier travels, let's first determine its constant rate (speed).
A skier travels for 4 seconds and covers 72 meters.
Constant Rate (Speed):
[tex]\text{ }\frac{\text{ Distance Traveled}}{\text{ Time}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 72 meters}}{\text{ 4 seconds}}\text{ = }18\text{ meters/second}[/tex]Determining the distance covered in 2 minutes:
Step 1: Convert the time in minutes into seconds.
[tex]\text{ 2 (minutes) x }\frac{\text{ 60 seconds}}{\text{ 1 (minute)}}\text{ = 2 x 60 seconds = 120 seconds}[/tex]Step 2: Multiply the time by the constant rate (speed) of the skier.
[tex]\text{ Distance Traveled = 120 (seconds) x }18\text{ }\frac{\text{ meters}}{\text{ (second)}}[/tex][tex]\text{ = 120 x 18 meters}[/tex][tex]\text{ Distance Traveled = 2,160 meters}[/tex]Therefore, in 2 minutes, the skier travels 2,160 meters.

The equation of the line that is perpendicular with y = 4 · x - 3 and passes through the point (- 12, 7) is y = - (1 / 4) · x + 4.
How to derive the equation of a line
In this problem we find the case of a line that is perpendicular to another line and that passes through a given point. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is described below:
y = m · x + b
Where:
m - Slopeb - Interceptx - Independent variable.y - Dependent variable.In accordance with analytical geometry, the relationship between the two slopes of the lines are:
m · m' = - 1
Where:
m - Slope of the first line.m' - Slope of the perpendicular line.If we know that m = 4 and (x, y) = (- 12, 7), then the equation of the perpendicular line is:
m' = - 1 / 4
b = 7 - (- 1 / 4) · (- 12)
b = 7 + (1 / 4) · (- 12)
b = 7 - 3
b = 4
And the equation of the line is y = - (1 / 4) · x + 4.

The value of slope is 3 and the value of y - intercept is -2.
Slope and y intercept:
The slope refers the rate of change in y per unit change in x.
The y-intercept states the y-value when the x-value is 0.
Given,
Here we have the equation
y = 3x - 2
Now, we need to find the slope and y intercept of the equation.
We know that, the standard form of the equation of the line is,

What is hyperbola?A hyperbola is a particular kind of smooth curve that lies in a plane and is classified by its geometric characteristics or by equations for which it is the solution set. A hyperbola is made up of two mirror images of one another that resemble two infinite bows.These two sections are known as connected components or branches. A series of points in a plane that are equally spaced out from a directrix or focus is known as parabolas.

find the measure of each of the other six angles
The measure of angle 1 is 71º, we can find this, because angle 1 and angle x form a straight line of 180º, so 180º - 109º = 71º
The measure of angle 2 is also 71º, we can use the vertical angles propierty, then m∠1 = m∠2
The measure of angle 3 is 109º, we can use again the vertical angles theorem to find that m∠x = m∠3
Themeasure of angle 7 is 109º. We need to use the alternating exterior angles theorem. Since angle x and angle 7 are not between the parallel lines they're exterior angles; and since they're on opposite sides of the transversal line, they're alternates. Then the theorem says that m∠x = m∠7
The measure of angle 6 is 71º, again we're using the fact that angle 7 and angle 6 forms a straight line, then m∠6 = 180º - 109º = 71º
Now we can find the lasts two measures using the vertical angles theorem.
The measure of angle 5 is 71º, because m∠6 = m∠5
The measure of angle 4 is 109º, because m∠7 = m∠4

c = 7-3t
substitute c value in other equation.
3(7-3t)-2t=-12
21-9t-2t=-12
21-11t=-12
-11t = -12-21
-11t=-33
t=33/11
t=3
now substitute t value in c = 7-3t
c = 7-3(3)
c=7-9
c=-2
hence t and c values are 3 and -2.

-3(15+4z/5)+2z=21
-45-12z+10z=105
-45-2z=105
-2z=105+45
z=-75
substitute z value in x=15+4z/5
x=15+4(-75)/5
x=-57
hence x and z values are -57 and -75.
–4m + 3n = 50 and 2m + n = 10consider, -4m+3n=50
3n = 50+4m
n=50+4m/3

2m+n=10
2m+50+4m/3 = 10
6m+50+4m=30
10m=30-50
10m=-20
m=-2
substitute m value in n=50+4m/3
n = 50+4(-2)/3
n = 50-8/3
n = 42/3
n = 14
hence m and n values are -2 and 14.
2p – 4q = 18 and –3p + 5q = 22consider 2p - 4q = 18
2p = 18+4q
p = 9+2q
substitute p value in other equation.
-3p+5q=22
-3(9+2q)+5q=22
-27-6q+5q=22
-27-q=22
-q = 22+27
q = -49
now p = 9+2q
p = 9+2(-49)
p = 9-98
p=-89
hence p and q values are -89 and -49.
3a + 4b = 51 and 2a + 3b = 37consider 3a + 4b = 51

2(51-4b/3)+3b=37
102-8b+9b=111
102+b=111
b=111-102
b=9
now, a=51-4(9)/3
a = 51-36/3
a = 15/3
a = 5
hence a and b value are 5 and 9.

I need help understanding slope
we know that
the formula to calculate teh slope between two points is equal to
[tex]m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}[/tex]where
(x1,y1) is one point
and
(x2,y2) is the other point
substitute the values in the formula and solve for m
Example
you have the points
(1,4) and (3,2)
so
(x1,y1)=(1,4)
(x2,y2)=(3,2)
substitute in te formula
m=(2-4)/(3-1)
m=-2/2
m=-1
the slope is -1
