Answer:

3x + 2y = 31  

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equation for y to determine the slope of this line:

-3y = -2x = -18, so that y = (2/3)x + 6.

Therefore, a line perpendicular to the given line has the slope -3/2, which is the negative reciprocal of this 2/3.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and inserting the knowns (slope = m = -3/2, y = 5 and x = -7), we obtain:

5 = (3/2)(-7) + b, or (after multiplying all terms by 2):

10 = -21 + 2b, or 2b = 31, or b = 31/2.

Then the equation is y = (-3/2)x + 31/2.

Let's put this into standard form.  Multiply all terms by 2, obtaining:

2y = -3x + 31, or

3x + 2y = 31    This is the equation of the perpendicular line in question.

The base of a triangle is given as 2b. The height of the triangle is given as 5b-7. Find an expressions for the area of the tria
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7)

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7) = 24

b * (5b - 7) = 24

5b^2 - 7b = 24

5b^2 - 7b - 24= 0

(b- 3 )(5b + 8) = 0

b = 3                    This the only solution that works.  b can't be minus

The base is 2b or 2 * 3 = 6

The hose is 2 inches in diameter. What circumference does the plug need to be?
scoray [572]

Answer:

6.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bother on the mensuration of flat shapes, a circle.

Volume v =

Diameter d=  2inches

Radius r =  =\frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 in

Since we are required to solve for the circumference of a circle

The expression for the circumference of a circle is given as

C= 2\pi r

C= 2*3.142*1\\C= 6.28

The question insist that we type just a number hence the circumference6.28 of the plug is 6.28
