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)

so

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=-3/2

so

m2=2/3

therefore

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

<h3>Answer:  a = 15</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 13 to 39 is "times 3" when comparing the diagonal segments. So the jump from 5 to 'a' must also be "times 3" to keep the sides in the same proportion. Therefore, a = 3*5 = 15.

Or we could solve it like so

13/39 = 5/a

13a = 39*5 ... cross multiplying

13a = 195

a = 195/13 .... dividing both sides by 13

a = 15
