Answer:

y = -2/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope m of perpendicular line

Simply take the negative reciprocal of the given line

m = -2/3

y = -2/3x + b

Step 2: Find b

6 = -2/3(-12) + b

6 = 8 + b

b = -2

Step 3: Rewrite perpendicular equation

y = -2/3x - 2

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 5x + 3y = 7?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. We can find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form, y=mx+b from standard form.

We convert by using inverse operations to isolate y.

5x+3y=7

5x-5x+3y=7-5x

0x+3y=-5x+7

3y=-5x+7

$\frac{3y}{3} =\frac{-5x+7}{3} \\y=\frac{-5}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}$ .

The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.

Loss=C.P-S.P
Loss=10000-8000
Loss=2000

Loss%=loss/cp*100
Loss%=2000/10000*100
Loss%=20%

A trucking company uses matrix A , shown below, to represent the driving time in hours for 6 trucking routes. A = [ 4 6 8 ]

zepelin [54]

Each element of the matrix are multiplied by the scalar to form a matrix of

same size as the original matrix in matrix scalar multiplication.

$60 \cdot A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}240\4&360&480\\360&480&600\end{array}\right]$

Reasons:

The matrix A is presented as follows;

$A = {\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right]}$

Using the multiplication of a matrix and a scalar, we have;

$60 \cdot A = 60 \cdot \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}60 \times 4&60 \times 6&60 \times 8\\60 \times 6&60 \times 8&60 \times 10\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{240}&\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}\\\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}&\mathbf{600}\end{array}\right]$

Therefore;

$60 \cdot A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}240\4&360&480\\360&480&600\end{array}\right]$
