Answer:

y = -1½x + 3 11⁄14

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert from <em>Standard Form</em> to <em>Slope-Intercept Form</em>:

2x - 3y = 4

-2x - 2x

____________

-3y = -2x + 4

___ _______

-3 -3

y = ⅔x - 1⅓ >> Slope-Intercept Form

↑

slope

Now, Perpendicular Lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE <em>Rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Changes</em><em> </em>[<em>Slopes</em>], so since the slope is ⅔, the opposite multiplicative inverse of that would be -1½, or -3⁄2. Anyway, do the following:

4 = -1½[-⅐] + b

3⁄14

-3⁄14 - 3⁄14

_______________

3 11⁄14 = b

y = -1½x + 3 11⁄14 >> New equation

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So a few things to know before hand.  Slope ntercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope, and in this form that will always make b the y intercept.

A perpendicular slope is pretty easy to find.  Of course, perpendicular means it intersects that first line at a 90 degree angle.  So the x and y axis themselves are perpendicular.  Anyway, if you know the slope of the line, a perpendicular slope is -1/m where m is the slope.  S taking the simplest example, in the graph of just x, the slope is 1, so the perpendicular slope is -1/1 or just -1.

The last thing is to know how to write the equation of a linear function when you know a point and its slope.  if you have the slope m and a point on the graph (a,c) you can use the point slope form which is this.  y - c = m(x - a) where you solve for y.  x an y stay as variables here.

Now knowing all that we can start.  First we want to put the original graph into slope intercept form, which is pretty easy.  Just manipulate the equation.

2x - 3y = 4

2x -4 = 3y

y = (2x - 4)/3

y = 2/3 x - 4/3

so m = 2/3 and b = -4/3

Now, we have the slope of this line and want the slope of a perpendicular line.  Like I mentioned before the slope is -1/m so in this case that's -1/(2/3) = -3/2  Let me know if you don't get how that was gotten.

Now that we kno the perpendicular slope, we can make a perpendicular line.  How do we make a line when we know the slope and a point?  Keep in mind the point is (-1/7, 4)

y - c = m(x-a)

y - 4 = -3/2(x + 1/7)

y - 4 = -3/2 x - 3/14

y = -3/2 x + 53/14

If it weren't in slope intercept form you'd have to put it in that, but I took care of it in the process, so here's the answer.  Let me know if there's anything you don't understand.

Solve the system.<br> y= 22 – 10x + 15<br> y=-10
Yuliya22 [10]

I will try to solve your system of equations.

y=22;−10x+15y=−10

Step: Solvey=22for y:

Step: Substitute22foryin−10x+15y=−10:

−10x+15y=−10

−10x+(15)(22)=−10

−10x+330=−10(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−10x+330+−330=−10+−330(Add -330 to both sides)

−10x=−340

−10x

−10

=

−340

−10

(Divide both sides by -10)

x=34

Answer:

y=22 and x=34Answer:

How do you solve systems of equations using matrices? I need help with the steps please
seraphim [82]
The objective function is simply a function that is meant to be maximized. Because this function is multivariable, we know that with the applied constraints, the value that maximizes this function must be on the boundary of the domain described by these constraints. If you view the attached image, the grey section highlighted section is the area on the domain of the function which meets all defined constraints. (It is all of the inequalities plotted over one another). Your job would thus be to determine which value on the boundary maximizes the value of the objective function. In this case, since any contribution from y reduces the value of the objective function, you will want to make this value as low as possible, and make x as high as possible. Within the boundaries of the constraints, this thus maximizes the function at x = 5, y = 0.
