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.

x = 4 and x = - 9

In both cases the angles inside the parallel lines are same sided interior angles

24x - 1 + 20x + 5 = 180

44x + 4 = 180 (subtract 4 from both sides )

44x = 176 ( divide both sides by 44 )

x = \frac{176}{44} = 4

Similarly

x + 109 + x + 89 = 180

2x + 198 = 180 ( subtract 198 from both sides )

2x = - 18

x = \frac{-18}{2} = - 9

How would you use estimation to evaluate this expression 10.2 x [(2x3.7)+8]
Goryan [66]
Round off the decimals to a sensible number. So 3.7 would be 4 and 10.2 would be 10. In this case, it would be (2 × 4 + 8) × 10 which is 160.

Identify whether the following equation has a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3+6=9

3-4=-1

9 doesn't equal -1 therefore no solution.

Please show your work this question what made you come to the conclusion. Thank you
AveGali [126]

Answer:

B the range, the x- and y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain stays the same : all values of x are possible out of the interval (-infinity, +infinity).

but the range changes, as for the original function y could only have positive values - even for negative x.

the new function has a first term (with b) that can get very small for negative x, and then a subtraction of 2 makes the result negative.

the y-intercept (x=0) of the original function is simply y=1, as b⁰=1.

the y-intercept of the new function is definitely different, because the first term 3×(b¹) is larger than 3, because b is larger than 1. and a subtraction of 2 leads to a result larger than 1, which is different to 1.

the original function has no x-intercept (y=0), as this would happen only for x = -infinity. and that is not a valid value.

the new function has an x-intercept, because the y-values (range) go from negative to positive numbers. any continuous function like this must therefore have an x-intercept (again, y = the function result = 0)

3 {b}^{x + 1}  = 2

{b}^{x + 1}  = 2 \div 3

log_{b}(2 \div 3)  = x + 1

x =  log_{b}(2 \div 3)  - 1
