Answer:

Any line with the slope of 2/3 would be perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first solve the equation for y.

-2y = 3x + 7

y = -3/2x - 7/2

Perpendicular lines always have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Therefore, we flip the slope in the original equation (-3/2 becomes -2/3) and then we change the sign (-2/3 becomes 2/3)

Kevin said that if you triple his age the result will be 1 less than his mother age

Ivahew [28]

Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.

Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.

A circle is centered at the point (-3,2) and passes through the point (1,5). What is the radius of the circle?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is a distance on a circle from the center to a point on the circle.

We have both of these points describe here in this definition. Using the distance formula will give us the radius.

$\sqrt{(x \text{ difference })^2+(y \text{ difference})^2$
