The slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line?</h3>

given that the equation is 5x - 3y = 2.

now write the equation in standard form y = mx + b

then -3y = 2 - 5x

y = -2/3 + 5x/3

y = 5/3x - 2/3

m 1*m 2 = - 1 is the formula for the slopes from a pair of perpendicular lines. where the slopes of the lines are m 1 and m 2.

Here m1 = 5/3 and m2 = -3/5.

Hence,the slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

One number is three less than twice another find these number if their product 44

NemiM [27]

The answer:

(-11,-4) and (8,11/2)

All you do is divide the second equation by y and set them equal to each other. Then solve for y and you get a quadratic. Just solve that and u get the answer.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much one roll of paper towels cost, we have to divide the total purchase ($20.02) by the number of paper towel rolls (14).

20.02 ÷ 14

= $1.43

One paper towel roll costs $1.43

A=2(l+w) solve for w

Maru [420]

Solving an equation means finding a value of a variable that make the equation true. This value is called the solution of the equation.<span> A mathematical equation is just like a balanced equation. Both sides of the equation should be equal at all times. </span><span>Whatever we do to one side, has to be done on the opposite side.</span>

$A=2(l+w)$

$\dfrac{a}{2}=l+w

$ $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 2$

$\dfrac{a}{2}-l=w

 
$ $Subtract \ l \ from \ both \ sides$

$w= \dfrac{a}{2}-l$
