What is the slope of a line that is peroendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 5?
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
How do you Simplify x to the power of negative 2 and y to the power of 3?
It is y^3/x^2
What is perpendicular to y equals 6x plus -2?
4
What does 10 to the negative 73 power equal?
Any number x raised to a negative power -y is equivalent to the reciprocal of x raised to y. So, 10-73 would be the fraction 1 over the number 1 with 73 zeroes after it. A very small number indeed!
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line y equals -2x plus 6?
The slope of the perpendicular to a line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope.The negative reciprocal of x is -1/xSo in this case, where the slope is -2 the perpendicular line has the slope -1/(-2) or simply 1/2
What does 5 to negative 2 power equal?
it equals 1/25, or 0.04. A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power. x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)
What is the slope of a line that is peroendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 5?
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
What is 9 to the negative second power?
Whenever you see a negative exponent (the negative 2nd power), take the reciprocal of the answer (put one over it):x-y = 1/xySo:9-2 = 1/92 = 1/81 = 0.01234567901
What is -9 to the second power?
Whenever you see a negative exponent (the negative 2nd power), take the reciprocal of the answer (put one over it):x-y = 1/xySo:9-2 = 1/92 = 1/81 = 0.01234567901
What is a negative reciporcal?
it is -1 times one divided by the number that you are taking a reciprocal of. Negative reciprocals are very relevant because you have to take the negative reciprocal of the slope (m) in a function to get a perpendicular line. Ex.: y=2x+1 ┴ y=-1/2*x+1
Vocabulary word for 1 of 2 numbers whose product is one?
A reciprocal. x is the reciprocal of y means that x*y = 1 Also, if x is the reciprocal of y then y is the reciprocal of x.
How do you Simplify x to the power of negative 2 and y to the power of 3?
It is y^3/x^2
What is the reciprocal of a negative exponent when the exponent is a fraction?
The reciprocal of a^(-x/y) is 1/a^(x/y). The fact that the exponent is a fraction makes no difference.
What is perpendicular to y equals 6x plus -2?

Does 2 to the negative power of 2 equal negative 4?
No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
