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

A goat and a cow together weigh 190 kg 640 g. The weight of the goat is 59 kg 720 g. Find the weight of the cow
AVprozaik [17]

Answer: 130 kg 920 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The weight of the goat is 59 kg  720 g

The combined weight of goat and cow is 190 kg 640 g

Suppose, the weight of the cow is x kg

We know, 1 kg=1000 g

Converting weight into kg

Goat weight

=59+0.720\\=59.720\ kg

Total weight

=190+0.640\\=190.640\ kg

Then, the cow weight is given by

\Rightarrow 190.640-59.720\\\Rightarrow 130.920\ kg\ \text{or}\ 130\ kg\ 920\ g
