What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown.
answer options: 2/3, -3, 3, -1/3

3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the slope of the line shown. This can be computed as:

where

is the increment along the y-direction

is the increment along the x-direction

We can choose the following two points to calculate the slope of the line shown:

(0,3) and (3,2)

Therefore, the slope of the line shown is

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the slope of the first line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the second line:

Using , we find that a line perpendicular to the line shown should have a slope of

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
