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

Work about the mid-points of these line segments. GH: G(-3,-4) and H (0,2)
Svet_ta [14]
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates
of the ends.
The average of the ends is  1/2(-3+0) = -1.5 .

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates
of the ends.
The average of the ends is  1/2(-4+2) = -1

The midpoint of the segment is  <em>(-1.5, -1)</em>.

Solve for the approximate measure of angle C. <br><br> 38.66<br> 36.87<br> 53.13<br> 51.34
Elis [28]

Answer:

m<C  = 36.87degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the approximate measure of angle C.

From the given diagram;

AC is the hypotenuse

BC is adjacent to <C

Cos m<C = adj/hyp

Cos m<C = BC/AC

Cos m<C = 20/25

Cos m<C = 0.8

m<C = arccos (0.8)

m<C  = 36.87degrees

Solve the systems of equations using elimination
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x=1, y=1. (1, 1). The answer is D).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5y=-2

4x-7y=-3

--------------

4(3x-5y)=4(-2)

-3(4x-7y)=-3(-3)

------------------------

12x-20y=-8

-12x+21y=9

--------------------

y=1

3x-5(1)=-2

3x-5=-2

3x=-2+5

3x=3

x=3/3

x=1

Answer:        4x² -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, evaluate the exponent you'll get, 3^{0}+ 4x² -5 then evaluate to get, 1+ 4x² -5. Next, subtract the numbers, 1 + 4x² -5 then to get, -4 +4x². Lastly, rearrange the terms,  -4 +4x² turns into, 4x² -4!

6. (08.02 MC)
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The percentage change in volume between cylinder A and cylinder B is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula

V= πr^2h

For cylinder A, where r=7 and h= 5, π=22/7

V= π * 7^2 * 5

V= π * 49 * 5

V= 769.69 cubic inch

For cylinder B

V= 490π

V= 1539.3804 cubic inch

The percentage change in volume between cylinder A and cylinder B

=[ (VA- VB)/VB] *100

=( 1539.3804 - 769.69) / 1539.3804

= 0.5000 * 100

= 50%
