Why does the negative reciprocal of the slope tell us your new line is perpendicular?

Not sure of an exact proof, but here's a way to think about how it works: First note that the y axis is perpendicular to the x axis. Now take a line, say y = (2/3)*x. So we can take rise/run = 2/3, and from the origin, it rises +2 and runs +3, so that the point (3,2) is on the line and connect the origin to (3,2) and you have the line.Now if you want to rotate this line counterclockwise 90°, to get a perpendicular line. Start at the origin and now we have an x' {that's x-prime, which is in the altered coordinate system}. Note that positive x' is 90° counterclockwise from regular x-axis (x' coincides with positive regular y-axis). And positive y' coincides with negative (regular x) axis.So the point (x',y') which in our example (3',2') will rise' 2 on the y' axis (which is really moving -2 in the regular x direction). Then it will run' 3 on the x' axis (which is really moving +3 in the regular y direction). So we have the point (-2,3) is a point on the perpendicular line. Connect this to the origin and we have the perpendicular line, and note the negative reciprocal slope.


How a factory assemply line is an example of specialization?

A factory assembly line is literally a line where something is put together, typically on a conveyor belt of some sort. The conveyor belt runs through the factory and stops at multiple points (sometimes they're slow enough that they don't have to stop). At each point, a specialized worker or robot adds his particular part to the line. In a car factory, for example, a different person or robot would install the engine, the tires, the doors, etc.


What is the reference point for lines longitude and where is it?

The reference for longitude ... the definition of 'zero' longitude ... is the Prime Meridian. That imaginary line joins the north and south poles, and runs through Greenwich, a suburb of London, UK.

It is the direction in line with (parallel to) the axis of the part. If you have a cylindrical shaft, for example, the axial direction runs along the length thru the center of the circular ends.

A sprinter runs 200m west and 100m east her displacement is?

displacement is the measure of the distance from the starting and ending points, AND the direction. it doesnt matter that she ran 300m total. heres the math for displacement: point b (the direction with the larger number) - point a(direction with the smaller number the direction will be point b's direction. so, plug it in. 200m west - 100m east =100m west ^^ if u wer to draw displacement, you would not need 2 draw the 200m west or the 100m east; you would imply draw the starting point and then 100m west, and draw a straight line connecting them. ^^ hope this helps!
