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.

Five friends equally shared half of one large pizza and 1/4 of another large pizza. what fraction of each pizza did each friend
attashe74 [19]
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

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
