Answer:
m= -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must find the slope of the line given. We are given the equation:
y-2/3x=2
We must get this equation in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). In order to do this, we must get y isolated.
2/3x is being subtracted from y. We want to preform the inverse, so we should add 2/3x to both sides.
y-2/3x+2/3x=2+2/3x
y=2+2/3x
Rearrange the terms.
y= 2/3x+2
Now the equation is in slope intercept form. (y=mx+b). 2/3 and x are being multiplied, so we know that the slope is 2/3.
Now, we have to find the perpendicular slope. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.
1. Negative
m=2/3
Negate the slope.
m= -2/3
2. Reciprocal
m= -2/3
Flip the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number).
m= -3/2
The perpendicular slope is -3/2
Y = 4
y intercept is 4
The line would be horizontal and it would intersect the y axis at the point (0,4)
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
add all marbles together: 10 marbles
since only 4 are red, the fraction would be 4/10
4/10 can be simplified to 2/5
Any y = ? equation is a horizontal line that passes through the number given.
y = 7 would be a line passing through 7 on the y - axis and staying flat and never rising.
Hope this helps! ;)
Drawing this square and then drawing in the four radii from the center of the cirble to each of the vertices of the square results in the construction of four triangular areas whose hypotenuse is 3 sqrt(2). Draw this to verify this statement. Note that the height of each such triangular area is (3 sqrt(2))/2.
So now we have the base and height of one of the triangular sections.
The area of a triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height). Subst. the values discussed above, A = (1/2) (3 sqrt(2) ) (3/2) sqrt(2). Show that this boils down to A = 9/2.
You could also use the fact that the area of a square is (length of one side)^2, and then take (1/4) of this area to obtain the area of ONE triangular section. Doing the problem this way, we get (1/4) (3 sqrt(2) )^2. Thus,
A = (1/4) (9 * 2) = (9/2). Same answer as before.
