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

An anthropology article presents a hypothetical situation that could be described by a linear programming model. Suppose a popul
solong [7]

Answer:

The minimum  labor = 270 hours and it is obtained when 0 units of plants and 18 animals are collected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that x should represent the number of units of plants

Also y to represent the number of animals.

So, minimze (z) = 30 x + 15 y

Subject to:

30 x + 20 y ≥  360  

10  x + 25 y ≥ 300

               y  ≤ 8

 0  ≤  x  ≤ 25

 0  ≤  y  ≤ 25

Changing the above linear inequalities into linear equation; we have:

30 x + 20 y =  360  

10  x + 25 y = 300

               y  = 8

The graph for the above discussion can be located in the attached diagrammatic expression below:

NOW, the corner points (0,18),(0,25),(25,25), and (25,8) can be calculated from the graph. From the diagram, the corner point  [\frac{60}{11} , \frac{108}{11} ] can be found by solving the system.

30 x + 20 y =  360  

10  x + 25 y = 300

Corner point (10, 8) = 10 x + 25 y = 300

                                                   y  = 8

Corner point                               Value of z = 30 x + 15 y

(0,18)                                            270

(0,25)                                           375

(25,25)                                         1125

(25,8)                                            870

[\frac{60}{11} , \frac{108}{11} ]                                          \frac{3420}{11} ≅ 310.91

(10, 8)                                            420

∴

The minimum  labor = 270 hours and it is obtained when 0 units of plants and 18 animals are collected.

Point M is on line segment LN. Given LN = 9, MN = 4x, and LM=5x
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

MN = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L, M, N are collinear,

LN = 9,

MN = 4x

LM = 5x

Required:

Length of MN

SOLUTION:

To calculate the numerical length of MN, we need to find the value of x.

To find the value of x, generate an equation to solve for x as follows:

LM + MN = LN (segment addition postulate)

5x + 4x = 9 (substitution)

Solve for x

9x = 9

Divide both sides by 9

\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{9}{9}

x = 1

MN = 4x

plug in the value of x

MN = 4(1) = 4

Please help me<br><br> I don’t understand it
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is B. In each equation, it uses parenthesis to group operations. On the left, each pair repeats one number either 1.6 and 4.2. On the right is written the reduced form by writing the expression with a greatest common factor.

Option A is incorrect since 1.6 is not the GCF which appears in each parenthesis.

Option B is incorrect because the operation in the parenthesis is multiplication and not addition.

Option C is incorrect because 1.6 as a GCF is applied using multiplication.

Option D is correct since 1.6 does occur as a GCF in each parenthesis. It also has written correctly (4.2 +7) since addition is the operation between the parenthesis.
