What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line 2y-3x=8?

1 answer:

6 0

To do this you need to put it in function form.
Here's the work
2y-3x = 8

2y-3x = 8
+3x +3x
2y = 3x+8
/2. /2
y = 3/2x + 8

To find perpendicular you multiply the slope the the opposite reciprocal.

y = -2/3x + 8
Then the +8 doesn't really matter now
Slope that is perpendicular is -2/3x

Suppose you know that <T and<S are supplementary, and that m<T=3(m<S). How can you find m<T?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

∠T = 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180°, thus

∠T + ∠S = 180

However, ∠T = 3∠S, hence

3∠S + ∠S = 180

4∠S = 180 ( divide both sides by 4 )

∠S = 45°, hence

∠T = 180° - 45° = 135°
