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

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.

Write an algebraic rule for the trend line. Report your rule in slope intercept form.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = 5x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the slope intercept form equation of the trend line

The general form is:

y =

mx + b

b is slope and m

is the y-intercept

b = 20

To get the slope, we select any two points and use the slope formula

we have the points;

(10,70) and (5,45)

The slope formula is;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (45-70)/(5-10) = -25/-5 = 5

The equation of the line is thus;

y = 5x + 20

Find the solution set for the following equation. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%5Csqrt%28x%29%3D5" id="TexFormula1" title=
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Solution set = {25}

Step-by-step explanation:

=> -\sqrt{x} =5

Dividing both sides by -1

=> \sqrt{x} = -5

Taking square on both sides

=> x = 25

<em><u>Solution set = {25}</u></em>

I will gove brainlist ..The line graph shows the amount of water loss in a leaking tank during 7 hours.The owner pays $1for ever
kramer

Answer:

The owner will have to pay $ 125 after 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line graph shows the amount of water loss in a leaking tank during 7 hours, and the owner pays $ 1 for every 8 liters of water lost, to determine how much will he have to pay after 2 hours the following calculation must be performed :

((6000 - 5000) / 8) x 1 = X

(1000/8) x 1 = X

125 x 1 = X

125 = X

Therefore, the owner will have to pay $ 125 after 2 hours.
