what is the equation of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and is perpendicular to 2x-3y=6? ...?

1 answer:

4 0

The equation given in the question is

2x - 3y = 6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get
2/3 x - y = 2
y = 2/3 x - 2
Then, from the above equation we can tell that the slope of the line in the graph is 2/3. The slope of a line perpendicular to this slope will be - 3/2. The line also contains the points (-2,-3).
Then, the equation of the perpendicular line will be
y = mx + b
- 3 = (- 3/2)(- 2) + b
- 3 = 3 + b
b = - 6
Then
y = (-3/2)x - 6
y + 6 = (- 3/2)x
2y + 12 = - 3x
3x + 2y = - 12

Let the original number be "x".
(x-10)/4 = 2

x-10 = 8

Determine whether abc ----> jgh is a reflection, translation, rotation, or glide reflection.

Usimov [2.4K]

From this picture you can calculate coordinates of triangles' vertices:
$A(-9,0),\ B(-6,-4),\ C(-3,0),\ J(8,0),\ G(5,4),\ H(2,0)$ .

Since

$\frac{-9+8}{2} = \frac{-6+5}{2}= \frac{-3+2}{2}=- \frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{0+0}{2}= \frac{-4+4}{2} = \frac{0+0}{2} =0$

you can conclude that points A, B, C are rotated by $180^0$ about the point (-0.5,0) to form points J, G, H, respectively.

Answer: A is correct choice.
