What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6?
2 answers:
first, we can find the slope from the equation that is given buy solving the equation for y
3x+2y = 6
2y = 6-3x
y = 3-3/2x
y = -3/2x+3
now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily see that the slope of the given line is -3/2
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so we can just take the negative reciprocal of the slope we have
-3/2 → 3/2 → 2/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3
hope this helped
Since this equation is already in standard form, there is no need to convert it. Standard form is Ax + By = C. In this equation, 3 = A, 2 = B, and 6 = C. From standard form, Ax + By = C equals negative A over B.
3x + 2y = 6
↓
The slope cannot be simplified any more, so this would be the final answer.

The answer is b that’s what i would pick
1/2 divide by 5= 1/10 1/4 divide by 5= 1/20 so 1/10 is also 2/20+1/20=3/20 so the answer is 3/20 of a pizza hope this helped and plz leave a thank you
Answer:
45,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You should divide 20 by 600 to see how many miles he would run per mile
and you take 30 x 1,500 to get your answer
To do these problems, you plug in the ‘n’ value given into the equation. a. 6j - 3 : j = 4 6(4) - 3 24 - 3 21 b. 1/2b + 5 : b = 14 1/2(14) + 5 7 + 5 12 c. 8 + 4k : k = 3.5 8 + 4(3.5) 8 + 14 22
