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.

Number 7 please! I need help badly

Answer:

A computer costs $225 and a printer $150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the cost of a computer and p the cost of a printer, then:

3c + p   = 825

4c + 2p = 1200

Multiply the first equation by -2:

-6c - 2p = -1650

Add this to the second equation:

-2c = -450

c = 225.

Now substitute  c = 225 in the first equation:

3*225 + p = 825

p = 825 - 675 =  150.

a car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas. Write an equation relating the distance d to the number of gallon g. How many g
ch4aika [34]

miles per gallon (x) = d/g

x = 476/14 = x = 34 miles per gallon

so d/x = g

578/34 = 17 gallons are needed
