Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the 2 points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-2 + 1) / (2 + 1)

-1/3

So, the slope is -1/3

Write an equation in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y equals 12 and passes through the point (1,2)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The equation is y = (2/3)x + (4/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change the equation into slope-intecept formula to find its gradient (slope) :

$3x + 2y = 12$

$2y = - 3x + 12$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}x + 6$

Given that when a line is perpendicular to the other line, their slope value multiplied, will form -1. Next, we have to find the slope for line :

$m1 \times m2 = - 1$

$- \frac{3}{2} \times m2 = - 1$

$m2 = - 1 \div - \frac{3}{2}$

$m2 = \frac{2}{3}$

Lastly, we have to subatitute the x and y values into the equation, to find its intercept value :

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + b$

$let \: x = 1,y = 2$

$2 = \frac{2}{3} (1) + b$

$b = 2 - \frac{2}{3}$

$b = \frac{4}{3}$

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{4}{3}$

James started tutoring children several times a week. The first 2 weeks he had to buy tutoring supplies and had losses of $40 an

nataly862011 [7]

Given:
Week 1 : - 40
Week 2 : - 56
Week 3 : 105
Week 4 : 70
Week 5 : 140
Week 6 : ?

At the end of the 6th week, net profit is 252.

Profit = 105 + 70 + 140 = 315
Loss = 40 + 56 = 96
Net Profit = 315 - 96 = 219
252 - 219 = 33 Profit on Week 6.

Average profit : 252 / 6 = 42 per week
