First, you need to find the slope of this new line.
It is perpendicular to the given line, which means the slope of this line is the negative reciprocal of this given line, so we need to find out the slope of the equation 3y=6x+3 
divide each side by 3, you'll get y=2x+1, so we know the slope is 2, which is 2/1
the slope for the new line should be -1/2, the negative reciprocal of 1/2
Next, use point-slope format to write your equation. Your point is (2,4) and your slope is -1/2, so you have
(y-4)=-1/2(x-2)
If you want to simplify it: y-4=-1/2x+1 => y=(-1/2)x+5

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?
lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.

Solving polynomial(2y-4)(3y+6)​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

6y² - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand. Follow FOIL method. FOIL =

First

Outside

Inside

Last.

First, multiply the first term of each parenthesis:

2y * 3y = 6y²

Next, multiply the outside terms from both parenthesis:

2y * 6 = 12y

Then, multiply the inside terms from both parenthesis:

-4 * 3y = -12y

Finally, multiply the last terms of each parenthesis:

-4 * 6 = -24

Combine like terms:

6y² + 12y - 12y - 24

6y² + (12y - 12y) - 24

6y² - 24

6y² - 24 is your answer.
