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.

2. Write an expression to represent f (20)
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I just learned this topic and have the same question, so I'm not sure if this right. However, I see a fellow student struggling and have to at least put in what I know. My equation was f(n) = 64(1/2)^n-1, then the question was write an expression to represent f(20).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, my answer was f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

f(20) is the number you plug into n. And because the exponent is n-1, I knew to subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.

Then I just wrote the equation out like the original expect with the numbers pluged in: f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

I hope this helps!
