Okay, to answer this question,
<span>Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse of one another and with opposite signs so,
If a line has a slope of m= -2 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=1/2
If a line has a slope of m= -3/4 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=4/3 If a line has a slope of m= 6 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=-1/6

So, just find the slope of your line, using it, get the slope of the line that will be perpendicular and then just get the equation for a line that has that slope and passes through point (-2,3) using: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
I hope I helped you with my answer</span>

Solve 2x2 + 12x - 14 = 0 by completing the square

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\\\2x^2+12x-14=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2+6x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2=9\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=7+9\\\\(x+3)^2=16\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\x+3=-4\ or\ x+3=4\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\x=-7\ or\ x=1$

last week at a festival, a man sold 3 times as many tie-dyed T shirts as silk screened shirts. He sold 168 shirts altogether. Ho

jonny [76]

Ratios shall be used
Selling 3x as many tie-dyed as silk is the equivalent of ratio 3:1 (Three tie dies for 1 silk)
Add up the total numbers in the ratio (By that I mean 3 + 1) to get 4
Divide the total number sold by 4 to get 42
Multiply 42 by 3 (The number of tie dyes sold in the ratio) to get 126
126 tie-dyed shirts were sold
