Start by putting it in slope intercept form.
6x - 4y = 30
6x - 30 = 4y
(6/4)x - 30/4 = y
simplify
(3/2)x - 15/2 = y

A perpendicular line will have a reversed slope. Take the negative reciprocal (flip it over, make negative).
slope of perpendicular line: -2/3

6x - 4y = 30
-4y = -6x + 30
y = 3/2x - 15/2....slope here is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3 (see how I flipped 3/2 making it 2/3...and then changed the sign, making it -2/3)

answer : perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3.

Which equation does the graph of the systems of equations solve?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by taking a look at the blue line. The slope of any line that passes through two points is equal to the change in y-values over the change in x-values. We can see that the line passes through points (0, 1) and (1, 0). Assign these points to (x_1,y_1) and (x_2, y_2) (doesn't matter which you assign) and use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let:

(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,1)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (1, 0)

The slope is equal to:

m=\frac{0-1}{1-0}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1

Therefore, the slope of this line is -1. In slope-intercept form y=mx+b, m represents slope, so one of the lines must have a term with -x in it, which eliminates answer choices A and D.

For the second line, do the same thing. The red line clearly passes through (0, -3) and (3, -2). Therefore, let:

(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (3, -2)

Using the slope formula:

m=\frac{-2-(-3)}{3-0}=\frac{1}{3}

Thus, the slope of the line is 1/3 and the other line must have a term with \frac{1}{3}x in it, eliminating answer choice C and leaving the answer \boxed{\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1}

*You can find the exact equation of each line by using the slope formula as shown and plugging in any point the line passes through into y=mx+b
