Answer:
she shouldn't adjust the compass width.
We have
1G = 12.05 - 3D;
Then,
2D + 3( 12.05 - 3D) = 15.50;
2D + 36.15 - 9D = 15.50;
- 7D = - 20.65;
D = 2.95;
Finally, G = 12.05 - 3 x 2.95;
G = 3.20;
Lol I actually laughed at this silly much ?
The answer will be y^2/4 (I’ve written up properly on the photo as I can’t type it)
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.
