Answer:

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

3x+2y=6

isolate the variable y

2y=-3x+6

y=-(3/2)x+3

The slope of the given line is m=-(3/2)

step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other ( the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=-3/2

m2=2/3

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 2/3

(2.1 x 104) + (3.5 x 106)

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

the answer is 589.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In doing this equation you do the order of operations:

(2.1 x 104)= 218.4

(3.5 x 106)= 371

you then add the answers together to get:

218.4 + 371 = 589.4

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1 , 0) and (3 , 8).?

Zina [86]

Let's apply the formula giving the slope:

m=(y2-y1) /(x2-x1) , let's plug:

m= (8-0) / (3-(-1)) ====> m= 2
