Answer:

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual first step is to determine the slope of the given line.

In this case the slope is -3/5.

A line perpendicular to this given line would have a slope of 5/3, which is the negative reciprocal of -3/5.

This new line goes thru (6, 3) and has a slope of 5/3.  Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Double check that you have copied the problem down correctly.  The slope of the line represented by -3x - 5y = 17 is neither 2 nor -2; it is -3/5, and so the slope of a line perpendicular to -3x - 5y = 17 is +5/3.

Kara mixes different colors of paint to create new colors. The table shows the amount of paint Kara mixes per batch.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

D. Batch 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The batch should have the same proportion of blue to white to yellow.

In Batch 1, there are two parts of blue, 1.5 parts of white, and 1 part of yellow.

In Batch 5, there are four parts of blue, 3 parts of white, and 2 parts of yellow.

4 / 2 = 2

3 / 2 = 1.5

2 / 2 = 1

Since the proportions are equal to those found in Batch 1, D. Batch 5 will create the same colors as the first batch.

Hope this helps!

U = (-2,3)

V = (3,0)

midpoint of UV

= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )

= ( 1/2 , 3/2)

= ( 0.5 , 1.5)

X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]

midpoint of UV = X

W= (-2,-3)

V =( 3.0)

Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )

= (0.5 , - 1.5)

Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]

Y is the midpoint of WV

by midpoint theorem ,

UW = 2( XY )
