Answer:

The answer to your question is: y = -2/3 x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point = (-9, 12)

line   y = 3/2x -1/2     perpendicular

Process

The line must be perpendicular to the line given. Then,

slope is the line given = 3/2, we change it because the lines must be perpendicular ,

New slope         M =  -2/3

New line       y-y1 = m(x - x1)

                     y - 12 = -2/3 (x + 9)             Substitution

                   3( y - 12) = -2(x + 9)

                   3y - 36 = -2x - 18                 Simplify

                   3y = -2x - 18 + 36

                   3y = -2x + 18

                      y = -2/3 x+ 18                      Result

The sum of 2 and three times a number equals 11. Find the number.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

y = second number

 

From the first sentence

11 = 2x + 3y

 

From the second sentence (I'm assuming the word "dust" should be "first"

y = 2-x

rewritten as  

x + y = 2

 

So your system of equations is

2x + 3y = 11

x  +  y  =  2

 

Multiply the 2nd equation by -2

2x + 3y = 11

-2x - 2y = -4

 

Add the two equations together

y = 7

 

Use y=7 to solve for x

x = 2-y = 2-7 = -5

A building contractor buys 60​% of his cement from supplier A and 40​% from supplier B. A total of 95​% of the bags from A arriv
docker41 [41]

Answer: 0.665.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the bags are from supplier A, and 95% of them are undamaged.

40% of the bags are from supplier B, and 75% of them are undamaged.

Then, the number of undamaged bags from supplier A is:

0.6*0.95 = 0.57 or 57%

from B is:

0.4*0.75 = 0.3 or 30%

This means that the percentage of undamaged bags is:

57% + 30% = 87%.

Then, the probability that an undamaged bag is from supplier A is equal to the percentage of undamaged bags that came from supplier A (57%) and the total percentage of undamaged bags (87%) this is:

P = 57%/87% = 0.655 or 65.5%

Then the probability that an undamaged bag comes from supplier A is 0.665.

Parallelogram ABCD has vertices at A(2,-3), B(8,-6), Cl14,-3), and D(8,0)
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of ABCD are A(2,-3), B(8,-6), C(14,-3), and D(8,0).

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

The length of sides are

AB=\sqrt{(8-2)^2+(-6+3)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}

BC=\sqrt{(14-8)^2+(-3+6)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}

CD=\sqrt{(8-14)^2+(0-3)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}

AD=\sqrt{(8-2)^2+(0+3)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}

Since length of all sides are equation therefore the given parallelogram cannot be a rectangle.

Slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope of AB is

m_1=\frac{-6-(-3)}{8-2}=\frac{-3}{6}=\frac{-1}{2}

Slope of BC is

m_2=\frac{-3-(-6)}{14-8}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

Since the slopes of two consecutive sides are not opposite reciprocals, therefore the given parallelogram is a rhombus. Option C is correct.
