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

Well the displacement of milage from the 2 places if 75km however, the women and her car are in the same place so there is no displacement. But 75km is the correct mathematical answer.

A garden in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a brick wall, on another side by a wooden fence, and on the
MAVERICK [17]
Let
x-----> the measure of the angle formed by the wooden fence and grass

we know that
in a right triangle
tan x=opposite side angle x/adjacent side angle x
opposite side angle x=13 ft
adjacent side angle x=21 ft
so
tan x=13/21x=arc tan (13/21)-----> x=31.76°------> x=32°

the answer is
32 degrees

You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and  a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum.  You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10.  We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.

lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph.  This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.

-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.
 
-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.

-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.

Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

The product of a number y and 3 is 6.<br> Write the word sentence as an equation
Romashka [77]
3y = 6

Product means multiply so 3 multiplied by y is 3y which is equal to 6. :)
