Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

Let

A(-3,2)\ B(2,-1)

slope mAB is equal to

mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)} \\ \\ mAB=\frac{(-1-2)}{(2+3)} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5}

Step 2

<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>

Let

CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

mAB*mCD=-1\\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5} \\ mCD=-\frac{1}{mAB} \\ mCD=\frac{5}{3}

Step 3

<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>

we know that

the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)\\\\ y-0=\frac{5}{3} *(x-3)\\\\ y=\frac{5}{3} x-5

Multiply by 3 both sides

3y=5x-15

5x-3y=15

therefore

the answer is

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation 5x-3y=15

A rectangle has a height of 4x ^ 3 width of x ^ 3 + 3x ^ 2 + 2x . Express the area of the entire rectangle .
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, you need to multiply the width by the height. In this case:

(4x^3)(x^3+3x^2+2x)=\\4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Hope this helps!

Find the sum. Express your answer in simplest form. 9a^2-5/b^2+2 + -2a^2+4/b^2+2
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{9a^{2}-5}{b^{2}+2}+\frac{-2a^{2}+4}{b^{2}+2}=\frac{9a^{2}-5-2a^{2}+4}{b^{2}+2}\\\\=\frac{9a^{2}-2a^{2}-5+2}{b^{2}+2}\\\\=\frac{7a^{2}-3}{b^{2}+2}

Find the area and thank
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Same premise as the other question. 12 ÷ 2 = 6 (for the double dashes) and 8 ÷ 2 = 4 (for the single dashes). Add all the numbers up:

12+8+6+6+4+4=40

If x=-2 and y=6 is a solution of equation 3ax+2by=6, then find the value of b
lana66690 [7]

\text{Substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\x=-2,\ y=6,\ 3ax+2by=6\\\\3a(-2)+2b(6)=6\\\\-6a+12b=6\qquad|\text{add 6a to both sides}\\\\12b=6a+6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\b=\dfrac{6a}{12}+\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}}
