Express the line in slope intercept form
this is done by making y the subject.
y = 3x/2 + 4
slope is 3/2
product of perpendicular lines is negative one
let me slope of the other line
m * 3/2 = - 1
m = - 2/3

Answer: $12.5\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length L=15 feet

width b=2 feet

Volume V=375 cubic feet

Suppose h is the height

Volume is given by $V=l\times b\times h$

$\Rightarrow 375=15\times 2\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{375}{30}=12.5\ ft$

Answer:

<h2>A.Multiplication Property of Equality</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-x+y=5&\text{\underline{multiply both sides by 2}}\end{array}\right\\\\\boxed{\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-2x+2y=10\end{array}\right}}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\.\qquad\qquad y=6\\\\\text{put the value of y to the second equation:}\\\\-x+6=5\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-x=-1\qquad\text{change the signs}\\x=1$
