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

What point on the graph of y = 0.5f(x) corresponds to (4, 16)? Explain.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We are given a coordinate (4,16).

Where first coordinate is the value of x and second coordinate is the value of y for the function y=f(x).

We need to find the value of given point (4,16) for function y= 0.5f(x).

Here function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.

On multiplying 0.5 by y, it will effect the value of y only. It does not effect value of  x . Because x value is still x. Only function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.

Therefore, y= 0.5f(4) = 0.5 * 16 = 8.

So, (4,8) is the point on the graph of y = 0.5f(x) corresponds to (4, 16).
