A line has a slope of - Which ordered pairs could be points on a line that is perpendicular to this line? Select

Which ordered pairs coul

two options

(a) -2,0 and 2,5 and (b) 2,-1 and 10,9

Question:

The question is incomplete without the answer choice. Let's consider the following:

A line has a slope of -4/5. Which ordered pairs could be points on a line that is perpendicular to this line? select two options

a) -2,0 and 2,5

b) -4,5 and 4,-5

c) -3,4 and 2,0

d) 1,-1 and 6,-5

e) 2,-1 and 10,9

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs that could be points on a line that is perpendicular to this line would have same slope as that of the line.

Let's check out the slope of the options.

The line has slope = -4/5

Slope = m = (y subscript 2 -y subscript 1)/(x subscript 2 - x subscript 1)

The coordinates is in the form of (x,y)

Find attached the workings.

a) -2,0 and 2,5

m = 5/4

b) -4,5 and 4,-5

m = -5/4

c) -3,4 and 2,0

m = -4/5

d) 1,-1 and 6,-5

m = -4/5

e) 2,-1 and 10,9

m = 5/4

Two lines are perpendicular if (m subscript 1) × (m subscript 2) = -1

In other words, the slopes

of the two lines must be negative reciprocals of each other.

If 1st slope = -4/5

For the lines to be perpendicular, the slope of every other line = 5/4

2nd slope = 5/4

The ordered pairs that are points on the line perpendicular to the line:

(a) -2,0 and 2,5 and (b) 2,-1 and 10,9

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
