Determine the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation 6x-4y= 30

Mathematics

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.

A garden is rectangular with an area of 6/7 square miles. If the length of the garden is 3/5 miles, what is its width?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= length x width

area=6/7, length=3/5, width=?

6/7=3/5 x width

6/7 divided by 3/5= 6/7 x 5/3 (you have to multiply by the recipricol, or flip the fraction.)

6/7 x 5/3=30/21= 1 3/7=width

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B.<br> A(2, - 5); B(4,1)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

(3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the midpoint coordinates (x, y) of points A(2, - 5) and  B(4, 1)

x-coordinate of the midpoint is (2+4)/2 = 6/2= 3

y-coordinate of the midpoint is (-5+1)/2 = -4/2= -2

The mid point coordinates are (3, -2)

How do you find the x intercepts of 3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3)
kaheart [24]
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.

3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0.  Factor out x^(5/3):     x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0

Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.

In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3. 

To solve this:  mult. both sides by x^(-2/3).  Then we have

4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3),            or 4 = 3x^(-2/3).  It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as

4           3
---  = --------------------
1            x^(+2/3)

Then 

4
---  = x^(-2/3).  Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2).  According to my     3                      calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)

Check this result!  subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation.  Is the equation then true?

My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been.  Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
