The perpendicular line would have a slope of A) -3/2.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

To do the opposite, take the original slope (2/3) and change the sign (-2/3).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-2/3) and flip it as a fraction (-3/2).

This gives us a new slope of -3/2.

Answer:

Tooth A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger tooth has to be displayed, knowing that no matter how many zeros you add to the end of a decimal, the value of it will stay the same. 0.23 is 1 digit short that 0.195, so if you just add a 0 to 0.23, it make both of them have a digit in the thousandths place. Now it's easier to solve, 0.230>0.195.

Tooth A should be displayed.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day be $x$

Hence the equation will become;

$50x + 100 \leq 400$

Solving this equation we get;

$50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq \frac{300}{50}\\\\x\leq 6$

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Use the following work shown below to answer the following question.

zysi [14]

Answer:

$\frac{3 + \sqrt{3x} }{3 - x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the work they gave you and continue from there:

$\frac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3}) + \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{x}) }{(\sqrt{3}) ^{2} - (\sqrt{x} )^{2} }$

First, simplify the numerator:

$\frac{3 + \sqrt{3x} }{(\sqrt{3}) ^{2} - (\sqrt{x}) ^{2} }$

Finally, simplify the denominator:

$\frac{3 + \sqrt{3x} }{3 - x}$
