ANSWER

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 8



EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

2x + 3y = 9

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,


3y =  - 2x + 9



\Rightarrow \: y =  -  \frac{2}{3}x + 3


The slope of this line is

m_1 =  -  \frac{2}{3}
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

m_2

Then
m_1 \times m_2 =  - 1


-  \frac{2}{3} m_2=  - 1

This implies that,

m_2 =  - 1 \times  -  \frac{3}{2}


m_2 =  \frac{3}{2}



Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

y = mx + b

We substitute the slope to get,


y =  \frac{3}{2} x + b

Since this line passes through
(-2,5)
it must satisfy its equation.


This means that,

5=  \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b


5 =  - 3 + b



5 + 3 = b


b = 8

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 8

\cfrac{8}{-15}=cos\left( \frac{2\pi }{5}t \right)\implies cos^{-1}\left(  \frac{8}{-15}\right)=cos^{-1}\left[ cos\left( \frac{2\pi }{5}t \right) \right]

cos^{-1}\left(  \frac{8}{-15}\right)=\cfrac{2\pi }{5}t\implies \cfrac{5}{2\pi }\cdot  cos^{-1}\left(  \frac{8}{-15}\right)=t\\\\

Tj Max is offering a 15% discount on all items .The new price of a pair of jeans is 44.20 .What was the original price
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$52

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an original price you must find how much of a percent was left before the discount.

100% - 15% = 85%

You then take this percentage a DIVIDE it by the new price.

$44.20/85% = $52 is the original price of the jeans.

Answer:

The slope is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3y-5x=15 turned into a slope intercept form is y=5/3x+5.

5/3 is the slope part of this equation.
