Line l has a slope of −6/13. The line through which of the following pair of points is perpendicular to l? A. (13,−4),(−7,2) B. (6,−4),(−7,2) C. (2,6),(−4,−7) D. (6,9),(−4,−4)

Explanation:

The original line has a given slope of -6/13. The opposite reciprocal is 13/6. We flip the fraction and the sign from negative to positive.

With any two perpendicular slopes, they always multiply to -1

(-6/13)*(13/6) = (-6*13)/(13*6) = -78/78 = -1

Since the perpendicular slope is 13/6, we need to see which of the four answer choices produces a slope of 13/6. Use the slope formula.

This is something you do through trial and error. You could start with A and work your way to D, or just pick at random. I'll go through each one by one starting at choice A.

Let's try choice A

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - (-4))/(-7 - 13)

m = (2 + 4)/(-7 - 13)

m = 6/(-20)

m = -3/10, we can see that choice A is not the answer, since we want m = 13/6 instead.

Let's try choice B

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - (-4))/(-7 - 6)

m = (2 + 4)/(-7 - 6)

m = 6/(-13)

m = -6/13, that doesn't work either

Let's try choice C

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-7 - 6)/(-4 - 2)

m = -13/(-6)

m = 13/6, we found the answer

For the sake of completeness, here is what choice D would look like

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 9)/(-4 - 6)

m = -13/(-10)

m = 13/10, which isn't the slope we want

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared

45.36 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work let us convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

now we will divide 158400 by 3492 to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work.

therefore, tyrone traveled on his way to work at the rate of 45.36 feet per second.
