<u>2/3  i</u><u>s the</u><u> slope </u><u>of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x 2y=6.</u>

What is slope?

  • Slope, Numerical measure of a line's inclination relative to the horizontal.
  • In analytic geometry, the slope of any line, ray, or line segment is the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal distance between any two points on it (“slope equals rise over run”).

we can find the slope from the equation that is given buy solving the equation for y

3x+2y = 6

2y = 6-3x

y = 3-3/2x

y = -3/2x+3

now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily see that the slope of the given line is -3/2

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so we can just take the negative reciprocal of the slope we have

-3/2 → 3/2 → 2/3

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3.

What is the value of this expression?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve (-2+(-1))^2/3 3

           1. -2+(-1) = -3

           2. (-3)^2 = 9

           3. 9/3 = 3

Step 2: Solve (-4)^2-17 -1

           1. 3/-1

Step 3: Simplify 3/-1 = -3. I hope this helped and please don't hesitate to reach out with more questions!

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 100m away is 45 degrees. What is the height of the tower to the neares
OLEGan [10]
<h3>Answer: 100 meters</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.

Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

---------

You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(45) = 100/x

1 = 100/x

1*x = 100

x = 100

In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.
