Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=2/3x and passes through origin

Mathematics

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

\bf y = \cfrac{2}{3}x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x+0\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=-\cfrac{3}{2}x

Use the functions f(x) and g(x) to answer the question. F(x)=x²-16; g(x)=x+4
AnnZ [28]

(x^2) - 16 / x+4 = (x-4)(x+4) / (x+4) = x-4, x not equal to -4

D is the answer.

The ratio of the measure of three angles of a triangle is 2:3:10. Find the measure of the largest angle.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle = 180°:

2 + 3 + 10 = 15

then:

180/15 = 12

then, the measure of the largest angle:

10 * 12 = 120°
