What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6?

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

↓

\displaystyle\ m = -\frac{3}{2}

The slope cannot be simplified any more, so this would be the final answer.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Fewer hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a fraction and shows the parts of a whole. This means that 2/3 of last week is fewer than last week. Last week is the whole for example 15 hours. This week will be 2/3 or 2/3*15 = 10 hours. This week will be less than last week.

Find the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 7 m and a base radius of 6 m.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

489.84 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of one 2d circle: πr² ⇒ π6² ⇒ 36π ≈ 113.04 (using 3.14 for pi)

Area of both 2d circles: 113.04 + 113.04 =226.08 m²

Now we have to find the width of the rectangle, which is equal to the circumference of either circle:

Width of rectangle: 2πr ⇒ 2π6 = 12π ≈ 37.68 (using 3.14 for pi)

We can find the area of the rectangle now, since the length was given

Area of rectangle: 37.68· 7= 263.76 m²

Surface Area: 263.76+226.08= 489.84m²

Hopefully this helps!

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

     \large\boxed{\large\boxed{10/21}}

Explanation:

There are only two mutually exclusive possibilities for each complex electronic system: being <em>defective</em> or being <em>not defective</em>:

  • Number of complex electronic systems: 7
  • Nmber of defective systems: 2
  • Number of not defective systems: 5

<em>Probability </em>that no defective systems are found in the sample is the equal to the probability of selecting them consecutively without replacement and finding each one is not defective:

  • Porbability the first is not defective × probability the second is not defective

  • 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42 = 10/21
