Answer:

y = -3/2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines' slopes multiply to get -1, they are perpendicular to each other.

In -6x+9y-12=0, find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form.

Isolate y:

-6x+9y-12=0

-6x+9y = 12

9y = 6x + 12

y = 6/9 x + 12/9

y = 2/3 x + 4/3

The slope in this line is 2/3.

To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal is when you switch the top and bottoms numbers and multiply it by -1.

2/3 => -3/2

The slope of the perpendicular line is -3/2.

In -8x+2y-6=0, find the y-intercept by converting to slope-intercept form.

Isolate y:

-8x+2y-6=0

-8x + 2y = 6

2y = 8x + 6

y = 8/4 x + 6/2

y = 2x + 3

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, which b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is 3.

Substitute the slope and y-intercept values into the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = -3/2 x + 3

find two consecutive even integers such that five times the first integer is equal to four times the second integer

drek231 [11]

Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to know to begin setting this up is that to get from one even integer to the next consecutive even integer, add 2.

Start with x = an even integer (yes, because you say so!)

Next even integer = x + 2

"five times the first integer is equal to four times the second integer"

5x = 4(x + 2)

Distribute the 4.

5x = 4x + 8

Subtract 4x

x = 8

The two integers are 8 and 10

5(8) = 4(10) as desired!

$3000 is invested in an account at interest rate r, compounded continuously. Find the time required for the amount to triple. (A

arsen [322]

Answer:

$36.62\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The value of r is the question is</em></u>

r=0.03

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

$A=P(e)^{rt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

$t=?\ years\\ P=\$3,000\\A=\$9,000\\r=0.03$

substitute in the formula above

$9,000=3,000(e)^{0.03t}$

solve for t

$3=(e)^{0.03t}$

Apply ln both sides

$ln(3)=ln[(e)^{0.03t}]$

Apply property of logarithms

$ln(3)=(0.03t)ln[(e)]$

Remember that

$ln(e)=1$

$ln(3)=(0.03t)$

$t=ln(3)/(0.03)=36.62\ years$
