What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y=(2/3)x+7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal. </u>

Example:  Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into <u>-1/3 </u>

Problem:  Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into <u>-3/2</u>

Answer:  The slope is -3/2

What are the zeros of the function represented by the quadratic expression 2x^2-5x-3
emmasim [6.3K]
 2x2-5x-3=0 

Two solutions were found :

 x = -1/2 = -0.500

 x = 3

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(2x2 - 5x) - 3 = 0

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x2-5x-3 

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -3 = -6 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .
