1)We have to make a line perpendicular to y=2x+3, passing through the point (0,0).

y=2x+3   
m=solpe=2

The slope of the line perpedicular to y=2x+3 is m´
m´=-1/m
m´=-1/2

Point slope form:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
(0,0)
m=-1/2

y-0=-1/2(x-0)
y=-x/2

Therefore, the line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is y=-x/2.

2)The point on the line y=2x+3 tha is closest to the origin is the point of intersection of the two lines.

y=2x+3
y=-x/2

We can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
2x+3=-x/2
least common multiple=2
4x+6=-x
4x+x=-6
5x=-6
x=-6/5  (=-1.2)

y=-x/2
y=-(-6/5)/2=6/10=3/5    (=0,6)

Therefore: the point of the line y=2x+3 that is closest to the origin is:
 (-1.2 , 0.6)

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to 2x-3y=9
Sever21 [200]
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but a different y intercept. A line with the same slope and y int as another one will be the exact same
Slope in standard form is -a/b, so your slope is 2/3 and your y int is -3
For example:
y=2/3x+1

How do you solve this
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

  • domain: all terms are defined for <em>all real numbers</em>
  • solution: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as a single exponential. After taking the log, the solution becomes obvious.

5^{x-2}-7^{x-3}=7^{x-5}+11\cdot 5^{x-4}\\\\5^{x-2}-11\cdot 5^{x-4}=7^{x-3}+7^{x-5}\\\\5^{x-2}(1-11\cdot 5^{-2})=7^{x-3}(1+7^{-2})\\\\5^{x-2}\dfrac{14}{25}=7^{x-3}\dfrac{50}{49}\\\\1=\dfrac{2\cdot 7^{x-3}5^4}{2\cdot 5^{x-2}7^3}=\left(\dfrac{7}{5}\right)^{x-6}\\\\0=(x-6)\log(1.4)\\\\x=6

valina [46]

Answer: The answer is D. the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the parametric form of the line, then graph the results. - 6x + 18y = 36
sesenic [268]

Answer:

x = 3t, y = t + 2

Draw a straight line connecting:

(0,2) and (2,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6x + 18y = 36

18y = 6x + 36

3y = x + 6

y = x/3 + 2

Let x = 3t

Then y = t + 2

Graph:

y = x/3 + 2

Intercepts

x-intercept:

0 = x/3 + 2

x/3 = -2

x = -6

y-intercept:

y = 0 + 2

y = 2

Draw a straight line connecting:

(0,2) and (2,-6)
