Answer:

y = -3/2x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to change the equation from standard form to slope form.

y = mx + b

2x-3y=7 --> subtract 2x from both sides

-3y = -2x + 7 --> now divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

y = 2/3x - 7/3 --> the reason 2/3x is positive is because when there are two negatives it turns to a positive.

now you have to use point slope form y - y1 = m (x - x1)

x1 and y1 would be your point. 2 is x1 and 8 is y1

y - 8 = -3/2 (x - 2) --> the reason that m is -3/2 is because a perpendicular equation is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope

next distribute the -3/2

y-8 = -3/2x + 3 --> and now add 8 to 3 to get why by it self

now you have y = -3/2x + 11

What are the intercepts of -4x 6y-5z=60

algol [13]

X intercept is when y and z=0
yinter cept is when x and z =0
zintercept is when x and y =0

set to zero and solve

xint
-4x+6(0)-5(0)=60
-4x=60
divide -4
x=-15
xint is (-15,0,0)

ying
-4(0)+6y-5(0)=60
6y=60
divide by 6
y=10
yint is (0,10,0)

zint
-4(0)+6(0)-5z=60
-5z=60
divide by -5
z=-12
zint is (0,0,-12)

xint is (-15,0,0)
yint is (0,10,0)
zint is (0,0,-12)

A quadratic function has its vertex at the point (- 3, 8) . The function passes through the point (0, 0) . When written in verte

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

f(x) = -8/3(x+3)+8

a = -8/3

b = technically equals -3 but when we plug it in it gets turned into 3 *double negative

k = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex: (h,k)

Use the points (0,0) and (-3,8) to find the slope

Katrin is making a poster for school elections. She draws a line 20.4 cm long across the poster board. She starts at one end of

nevsk [136]

Well, to find out how many times 20.4 can split into 3.4, you need to divide 20.4÷3.4 and you will get 6, and Katrin (K-A-T-R-I-N) is 6 letters, so you have enough room, the answer is yes.
