What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is

Amanda [17]2 years ago

Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the perpendicular line, we must first find the slope of the given line.

This can be done by rearranging the equation into the slope intercept form.

2x +3y= -3

3y= -2x -3

y= -⅔x -1

Thus, the slope of the given line is -⅔.

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the given line.

Slope of perpendicular line =  \frac{3}{2}

What is slope-intercept form?

  • y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
  • This can be achieved by making y the subject of formula

Negative reciprocal

  • The reciprocal of m is \frac{1}{m}
  • The negative reciprocal of m is -  \frac{1}{m}

Negative reciprocal of -⅔

=  - 1 \div  ( - \frac{2}{3} )

=  - 1 \times ( -  \frac{3}{2} )

=  \frac{3}{2}

Triss [41]

Answer:

<4= 164

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of any 2 angles of a triangle is equal to the exterior linear angle of the triangle

<1+<2=<4

8x+9+5x+12=14x+10

13x+21=14x+10

21=x+10

11=x

<4=14x+10

<4=14(11)+10

<4=154+10

<4= 164

-2x-y=-5 In slope intercept form please! :)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-2x - y = -5 in slop intercept form would be <u>y = -2x + 5 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - y = -5

first add -2x to the left side to move it to the right side because whatever you do to one side u do to the other.

-y = -5 + 2x

divide by -1 on the whole equation

y = -2x + 5 is your answer.

2.7×3 = 8.1

3x3=9

6×3= 18

18-8.1= 9.9 < 10

18-9= 9 < 10

18-18=0 < 10
