<span>2x - 3y - 5 = 0
3y = 2x - 5
y = 2/3 x - 5/3 so this line has slope = 2/3
perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope = -3/2

answer
-3/2</span>

Answer: $B(x,y)=B(\frac{14}{3},3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4-2}{3} =x-4\\2=3x-12\\14=3x\\\frac{14}{3}=x\\\\\frac{2-(-1)}{3}=y-2\\3=3y-6\\9=3y\\3=y$

1) 136 is the circumference of a circle with what area? we know C=πd.
136=πd
136/π=d
d=43.290 so the radius is half that, or
r=21.645
taking area as our measure of size,
A=πr²
A=π•21.645²
A=1471.855. answer C is closest. difference is in how they and I rounded

2) c, e, and f
