Y = -3/2x + 4...slope is -3/2
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So that means the slope we will need is 2/3...see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign.
Now we use y = mx + b....slope(m) = 2/3....(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9.
Time to sub...we r looking for b, the y intercept.
9 = 2/3(3) + b
9 = 2 + b
9 - 2 = b
7 = b
so the perpendicular equation is : y = 2/3x + 7...but we need it in Ax + By = C form....
y = 2/3x + 7....multiply by common denominator of 3 to get rid of fractions
3y = 2x + 21...subtract 2x from both sides
-2x + 3y = 21....<== ur answer...normally, I would have multiplied this by -1 to make x positive...but that is not an answer choice
Answer:
v= 13
w= -32
Step-by-step explanation:
2v+6w=-36
5v+2w=1
2w= 1-5v
2v+ (3)(1-5v)= -36
2v+3-15v= -36
3-13v =-36
3--36= 13v
39= 13v
13 = V
5×13+2w=1
65+2w=1
1-65= 2w
-64=2w
-32=w
Answer:
- The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
- The scientist can substitute these measurements into
and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.
Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
This is:

In this case:

Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into
, and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":


ANSWER
The value of a and b are:

EXPLANATION
The expression given to us is

We square both sides of the equation to obtain

We now find the prime factorization of 648 to obtain,

We now compare the exponents on both sides of the equation to obtain,

Therefore the correct option is C
