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

Mathematics

sesenic [268]3 years ago

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

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

7³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS, we see that E (which stands for exponents) comes before M (which stands for multiplication) and A (which stands for addition) so the first operation you should do is 7³.

sqrt(49) = 7

sqrt(a^2) = a

sqrt(b^2) = b

For every two variables you can take one out from under the root sign and thorough the other one away.

Answer: E

2

sqrt(36) = 6

sqrt(a^2) = a  See comment for 1.

b must be left where it is. There is only 1 of them.

6asqrt(b)

Answer: A

3. sqrt(25) = 5

sqrt(b^2) = b

a must be left alone.  There's only 1 of them.

5b sqrt(a)

answer: C

4

sqrt(81 a b)

sqrt(81) = 9

The variables must be left alone. There's only1 of them
