Write an equation for the line perpendicular to 2x−3y = 5 and containing (−2, 1).

8 0

Hello:
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(2/3) = -1......( perpendicular to a line : 2x-3y =7 with a slope of 2/3 because : y = (2/3)x-7/3)
a = -3/2 y=(-3/2)x+b
the line that passes through (-2, 1) : 1 = (-3/2)(-2)+b
b = -2
 the equation is : y = (-3/2)x-2

Answer:

Commutative Property of Addition.-
2 + 3 = 3 + 2

Commutative Property of Multiplication.- ex. 5 × 7 = 7 × 5

Associative Property of Addition.- ex.(2 + 3) + 6 = 2 + (3 + 6)

Associative Property of Multiplication.- ex. (7 × 3) × 10 = 7 × (3 × 10)
Distributive Properties of Addition Over Multiplication- ex. 2 × (2 + 8) = 2 × 2 + 2 × 8
(2 + 8) × 10 = 2 × 10 + 8 × 10
