Line perpendicular to y=2/3+3 and passes through 2,1

1 answer:

7 0

I'm assuming there is an x after 2/3?

y = (2/3)x + 3

First we invert the gradient to make it perpendicular.

y = (-3/2)x + 3

Now we need to make y equal to 1, when x is 2. Currently, y is 0, since (-3/2) * 2 is -3, plus 3 is 0. We could just add 4 instead of 3 to make y equal to 1, so the line...

y = (-3/2)x + 4

is perpendicular to the line you provided, and passes through (2, 1).

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLYST IF CORRECT Explain how to use the orders of operation to simplify the following expression. [– 4

Gekata [30.6K]

First do the the parenthesis: (6-3) = 3

Now you have [-4 + 3 * 8] -10

Next do multiplication: 3 *8 = 24

Now you have [-4 + 24]-10

Now do what is in brackets: -4 + 24 = 20

Now you have 20-10

Subtract 20-10 = 10

For this isosceles triangle, find the measure of angles h and m.

Hello,

x + x + 128° = 180°

2x + 128° = 180°

2x = 180° - 128° = 52°

x = 52° / 2 = 26°

Answer:

The average rate of change of the cost of a pack is 22 cents per year.

Another name for the average rate of change is slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of the cost of a pack ( $r$ ), in monetary units per year, is equal to the change in the average cost of a pack ( $\Delta c$ ), in monetary units, divided by the change in time ( $\Delta t$ ), in years. Then, the average rate of change is:
