Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 7x = -12

-3x + 7x = 4x

4x = 12

4/4 = 1

12/4 = 3

x = 3

What would be a line perpendicular to (2,3) (5,5)?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

  3x + 2y = 0   or   y = -3/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between a line and its perpendicular is that their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. So, the thing you need to know about the line through the two given points is its slope. That is found using the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . where the two give points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Putting your point coordinates in this formula gives ...

  m = (5 -3)/(5 -2) = 2/3

Then the perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal:

  slope of perpendicular = -1/m = -1/(2/3) = -3/2

You have not said whether the perpendicular line must meet any other requirement, so the simplest one we can write is ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

  y = -3/2x . . . . . . has a y-intercept of 0 (goes through the origin)

Multiplying by 2 and adding 3x gives ...

  3x + 2y = 0 . . . . . standard form equation

_____

<em>Comment on the attachment</em>

The geometry program I used to create the attachment wrote the equation of the line through the given points as ...

 2x -3y = -5 . . . . . standard form equation

The equation of a perpendicular line can be created from this form by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Simply swapping the coefficients would give ...

  -3x +2y = <something>

In standard form, we want the leading coefficient to be positive, so we can choose to negate the x-coefficient. The <something> can be zero to make the line go through the origin.

  3x +2y = 0 . . . . . a perpendicular in standard form

__

If you need to have the line go through a particular point, you can determine the constant value (on the right of the = sign) by putting the point coordinates in for x and y.

_____

Method summary:

  • find the slope of the given line
  • determine its opposite reciprocal to find the slope of the perpendicular line
  • use that new slope in an appropriate form to have the line go where you want it to go. (Point-Slope Form is often useful)

In the 2004 Olympics, Adam won a gold medal in the men's 500 m kayak race, with a time of 1 min and 37.9 sec. He also won the br
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Adam rowed faster in the men's 500-meter kayak race.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be \frac{500}{97.9} or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be \frac{1000}{208.2} or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.

The width of the rectangle is 0.6 meters less than the length. The perimeter of a rectangle is 60.8 meters. Find the dimensions
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

14+=+2L+%2B+2%28L-3%29 Simplify and solve for L

14+=+2L+%2B+2L+-+6 Combine like-terms.

14+=+4L-6 Add 6 to both sides.

20+=+4L Divide both sides by 4.

5+=+L The length is 5 meters.

W+=+L-3

W+=+5-3

W+=+2meters.

The width is 2 meters.

P+=+2L%2B2W

P+=+2%285%29%2B2%282%29

P+=+10%2B4

P+=+14meters.
