Given that line s is perpendicular to line t, which statements must be true of the two lines? Check all that apply.

2 answers:

5 0

The basis to respond this question are:

1) Perpedicular lines form a 90° angle between them.

2) The product of the slopes of two any perpendicular lines is - 1.

So, from that basic knowledge you can analyze each option:

a.Lines s and t have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

TRUE. Tha comes the number 2 basic condition for the perpendicular lines.

slope_1 * slope_2 = - 1 => slope_1 = - 1 / slope_2, which is what opposite reciprocals means.

b.Lines s and t have the same slope.

FALSE. We have already stated the the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

c.The product of the slopes of s and t is equal to -1

TRUE: that is one of the basic statements that you need to know and handle.

d.The lines have the same steepness.

FALSE: the slope is a measure of steepness, so they have different steepness.

e.The lines have different y intercepts.

FALSE: the y intercepts may be equal or different. For example y = x + 2 and y = -x + 2 are perpendicular and both have the same y intercept, 2.

f.The lines never intersect.

FALSE: perpendicular lines always intersept (in a 90° angle).

g.The intersection of s and t forms right angle.

TRUE: right angle = 90°.

h.If the slope of s is 6, the slope of t is -6

FALSE. - 6 is not the opposite reciprocal of 6. The opposite reciprocal of 6 is - 1/6.

So, the right choices are a, c and g.

Cooper is measuring ingredients for his special dessert. He needs a total of 70.4 mL of milk and melted butter. The recipe calls

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the quantity of butter

and

m be the quantity of milk

So according to given statement the whole mixture measures 70.4 mL while butter measures 30.6mL

so,

B+m = 70.4

30.6 + m = 70.4

m = 70.4 - 30.6

m = 39.8 mL

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe ..

1.How much taller Porter is than Henry, given that Porter is n inches tall and Henry is m inches tall. 2.How many times as tall

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Porter is $n-m$ inches taller than Henry.

Porter is $\frac{n}{m}$ times taller than henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height can be found using subtraction.

Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.

n = Porter's height

m = Henry's height

Difference in height is thus:

$n-m$

Answer: Porter is $n-m$ inches taller than Henry.

To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.

An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.

If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...

$\frac{200}{100}=2$

..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.

Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.

$\frac{n}{m}$

Answer: Porter is $\frac{n}{m}$ times taller than henry.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at

sergij07 [2.7K]

Number of stocks held = 30
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company bought = 20 1/4
   = (81/4) dollars
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company sold = 25 1/4
   = (101/4) dollars
Amount of profit made per share of Lofty Cheese Company = [(101/4 - (81/4)] dollars
   = (20/4) dollars
   = 5 dollars
Amount of profit made for 30 shares of Lofty Cheese Company = (30 * 5) dollars
   = 150 dollars.
So you will make a profit of $150.The correct option in regards to the question given is option "C".

What is the greatest common factor (gcf) of the numerator and denominator in the rational expression below? 7x+14/2x^2+x-6

Mashutka [201]

The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.

Round to the nearest ten thousand 905154

kolbaska11 [484]

You want to round 905,154 to the nearest ten-thousands place. The ten-thousands place in your number is shown by the bold underlined digit here:

905,154

 To round 905,154 to the nearest ten-thousands place...

 The digit in the ten-thousands place in your number is the 0. To begin the rounding, look at the digit one place to the right of the 0, or the 5, which is in the thousands place.

 Since the 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we'll round our number up by

 Adding 1 to the 0 in the ten-thousands place, making it a 1.

 and by changing all digits to the right of this new 1 into zeros.

The result is: 910,000.

So, 905,154 rounded to the ten-thousands place is 910,000.
