<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.

A 7th grader student chooses a random sample of 50 out of 400 students. He finds that 7 students have traveled outside the Unite
malfutka [58]
If we assume the student’s sample is representative of the whole population, then yes, the student can be considered accurate.

7 / 50 = 0.14
400 * 0.14 = 56

About 56 of the 400 students can be estimated to have traveled outside the US.

2 8 −10−15÷3=2, start superscript, 8, end superscript, minus, 10, minus, 15, divided by, 3, equals
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

241

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation to evaluate :

2^8 −10−15÷3

2^8 = 256

256 - 10 - 15 ÷ 3

From BODMAS principle, we evaluate the divison before subtraction :

-15 ÷ 3 = - 5

256 - 10 -5

256 - 15

= 241

In triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). F
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The length of DE is 14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). we have to find the length of DE.

Given lengths are AC=20cm, AB=17cm, and BD=11.9cm

In ΔBDE and ΔBAC

∠BDE=∠BAC       (∵Corresponding angles)

∠BED=∠BCA       (∵Corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔBDE~ΔBAC

∴their corresponding sides are in proportion

⇒ \frac{BE}{BC}=\frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{11.9}{17}=\frac{DE}{20}

⇒ DE=\frac{20\times 11.9}{17}=14cm
