Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the line y= 3/2x-6 and passing through the point (9,-4)

Answer:

y = -(2/3)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other.  That means you take the slope, flip the fraction, and change the sign.

Here our given line is y = (3/2)x - 6 so the slope 5/9

The opposite reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3

We set up the equation

y = -(2/3)x + b      

  we are given a point (x, y) of (9, -4), so plug that in and solve for b

-4 = -(2/3)(9) + b

    -4 = -6 + b

     2 = b  

So our equation is  y = -(2/3)x + 2

If the average speed of a garden snail is 0.025 miles per hour and one inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters, how many minutes
BaLLatris [955]

Snail takes 1.5 minutes to travel around one meter

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the average speed of a garden snail is 0.025 miles per hour  

And one inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters,  

We have to find how many minutes would it take a garden snail to travel one meter?  

Now, let us convert the speed in miles per hour to meters per minute

Then, speed = 0.025 miles per hour  

= 0.025 x 1 mile / 1 hour  

= 0.025 x 1609.34 meters / 60 minutes

= 0.025 x 1609.34 / 60 meters per minute

\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{0.025 \times 1609.34}{60} \text { meters per minute }} \\\\ {=\frac{40.2335}{60} \text { meters per minute }}\end{array}

= 0.670 meters per minute.

Now, 0.670 meters ⇒ 1 minute

Then, 1 meter ⇒ n minutes

So, by criss cross method

n x 0.67 = 1 x 1

n = 1.4912

Hence, snail takes 1.5 minutes approximately to travel 1 meter.

Which equation(s) have x = –3 as the solution? log3(2x + 15) = 2 log5(8x + 9) = 2 log4(–20x + 4) = 3 logx81 = 4
baherus [9]

Answer:

log_3(2x+15)=2  and log_4(-20x+4)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug it in and see!

log_3(2x+15)=2\\log_3(2(-3)+15)=2\\log_3(-6+15)=2\\log_3(9)=2\\\text{ This is a true equation because } 3^2=9\\\\\\log_5(8(-3)+9)=2\\log_5(-24+9)=2\\log_5(-15)=2\\\\\text{ Not true because you cannot do log of a negative number }\\\\log_4(-20(-3)+4)=3\\log_4(64)=3\\\text{ this is true because } 4^3=64\\\\\\log_x (81)=4\\log_{-3}(81)=4\\\text{ the base cannot be negative }\\\\\\\\\text{ There is only two options here} \\\\log_3(2x+15)=2 \text{ and } log_4(-20x+4)=3
