Answer:

y=\frac{3}{2}x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5. We are asked to find the equation of line perpendicular to our given equation and passes through point (8,1).

We know that the slope of a perpendicular line to a given line is negative reciprocal of the slope of given line. So the slope of perpendicular line to the line y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5 will be negative reciprocal of -\frac{2}{3}.

\text{negative reciprocal of }-\frac{2}{3}=-(-\frac{3}{2})

\text{negative reciprocal of }-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{2}

Upon substituting m=\frac{3}{2} and coordinates of point (8,1) in slope intercept form of equation we will get,

1=\frac{3}{2}*8+b

1=3*4+b

1=12+b

1-12=12-12+b

-11=b

Therefore, the equation y=\frac{3}{2}x-11 represents the equation of line perpendicular to our given line.

How many times greater is The total area of Russia than the total area of Finland? Finland total area is 3.4 x 10 to the 5th pow
Luden [163]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Russia is 50 times greater than Finland.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Finland area = 3.4 x 10⁵ km²

Russia area = 1.7 x 10⁷ km²

Proportion = ?

Process

1.- Just divide the Russia's area by the Finland's area.

   Proportion = \frac{Finland's area}{Russia's area}

   Proportion = \frac{1.7 x 10^{7} }{3.4 x 10^{5} }

   Porportion = 50
