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

If you take a look at my really poorly drawn diagram, we can see it is a trigonometry problem. The angle, however, is outside the triangle, and we can find the angle inside the triangle next to it by taking it away from 90°:
90°0' - 72°54' = 17°6' ≈ 17.1°.
We can find the other angles becuase one is 90° and the other is:
180°-90°-17°6'=72°54' ≈ 72.9°(which you can see if you know your angle theorems).

We now have diagram 2, nicely simplified so we can see where to go.
Using the Sine Rule, i.e.
\frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b}
We can rearrange to find our length b:
b=a \frac{sinB}{sinA}
Substituting numbers in:
b=1191 \frac{sin(17.1)}{sin(72.9)} =366.399...ft
b=366 feet.

After the closing of the mill, the town of Sawyerville experienced a decline in its population.
vfiekz [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

0.75 = 2^(-t/15)

ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))

ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)

-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t

t = 6.23

Answer:

  (a)  (4, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the transformation rule to the coordinates of point H.

  (x, y) → (x +8, y +5)

  H(-4, 3) → H'(-4 +8, 3 +5) = H'(4, 8)
