Let's look at the first equation.

3y = 5x - 1

y = 5/3 y - 1/3

This line has slope 5/3. A line perpendicular to it has slope -3/5.

The second line is y = -3/5 x + 9.
Its slope is indeed -3/5, so the second line is perpendicular to the first one.

There is an infinite number of lines perpendicular to any given line. You concluded correctly that the two lines in this problem are perpendicular based on the fact that their slopes are negative reciprocals. The second line, y = -3/5 x + 9, is only one line that is perpendicular to the first line. There is an infinite number of lines perpendicular to the first line. All the perpendicular lines have the slope -3/5 and different y-intercepts. The +9 here is just the y-intercept of this specific perpendicular line. Since there is an infinite number of y-intercepts, there is an infinite number of perpendiculars.

Solve for the unknown variable 2/5(3x-4)=-4
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

First divide 1500 by 60 to see how many words he can write in a minute. he can text 25 words a minute. multiply that by five to see how many words he can text in five minutes. he can text 125 words in five minutes, so he can text 85 words in a minute.

The answer is yes.

What is the relative minimum of the function? <br> if anyone could help it would be appreciated!! :)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the parabola opens upwards, the minimum is at the vertex of the parabola and the maximum is infinity, because the lines of a parabola goes on forever

you look for the smallest x value for the parabola and since you can see that the vertex of the parabola lies on x=-2, the minimum value of the function is -2.

Hope that helps :)
