Answer:
-6 = x / 3 -Multiply both sides by 3
-6 * 3 = x / 3 * 3
-18 = x
Now, you can check your answer:
-6 = -18 / 3
-6 = -6
Hope this helps!
Sounds like an id 10 t problem
Answer:
Let P be the external point. O be the origin. join O and P get OP and nearest point on the circle from P be A.
Let Q be the point onthe circle in which, tangent make 90° with radius at Q.
PQ = 8 and OQ = 6
we get a right angled triangle PQO right angled at Q.
so, OP^2 = OQ^2 + PQ^2= 8^2 + 6^2 = 64 + 36 =1==
therefore OP =10cm
we need nearest point from P, which is PA
PA = OP - OA= 10 -6=4cm
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.
-2x+3y=-6 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6 Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3
The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.
y=mx+b Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b Combine like terms
-2=-9+b Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b
The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
18
Because 6•3= 18
