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

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

In Exercises 6 and 7, use the given measure to find the missing value in each data set. 6. The mean of the ages of 5 brothers is
strojnjashka [21]

Solution

Problem 6

For this case we can do this:

12, 16,__, 14, 8, 7

We can solve for x like this:

\frac{12+16+x+14+8+7}{6}=13x=13\cdot6-(12+16+14+8+7)=21

Simplify the radical expression. show all your steps. sqrt 363-3 sqrt 27
Citrus2011 [14]
Sqrt 363  - 3 sqrt27
= sqrt(121* 3) - 3 sqrt (9*3)
= sqrt 121* sqrt3 - 3 * sqrt 9 * sqrt3
= 11 sqrt3 - 3* 3 sqrt3
= 11 sqrt3 - 9 sqrt3
= 2 sqrt3  Answer
