Mathematics

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

y=(2/3)x+4

the slope is m=2/3

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal

so

the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line is

m=-3/2

step 2

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

we have

m=-3/2

point (-2,5)

substitute

5=(-3/2)(-2)+b

solve for b

5=3+b

b=2

therefore

<h2>y=-(3/2)x+2</h2>

Find dimensions of the rectangular box of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius a?
ivolga24 [154]
This is an optimization calculus problem where you would need to know a little bit more about the box, atleast i would think. You would just need to use the volume equation of a sphere as the restrictive equation in the optimization problem. Perhaps there is a way to solve with the given information, but i do not know how to.

Please help! I really don’t understand this and I need to do this for homework
densk [106]

Answer:

Just move each point 17 units left, then 3 down. For example, for U, count seventeen points to the left, and once you are there, count 3 down. You should end up at (-7, 7). Do this for all the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
