What is the slope of a line perpendicular to 24x-9y=63

1 answer:

3 0

In order to find the slop it is probably best to put the equation in y=mx+b form. This means to get y by itself on one side.
24x-9y=63 will then become -9y=63-24x in which y has been isolated.
Then you should divided by -9 to get the final form: y=24x/9 -63/9.
Now you can get the slope of the perpendicular line by taking the slope of the original equation and finding its reciprocal which is -9/24x. This is your answer.

An iceberg weights 450,000 pounds. If it loses 0.2% of its weight in a day, what is its new weight at the end of the day?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

449,100 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

.2% as a decimal is 0.002. To find .2% of 450,000, you multiply it. The answer is 900 pounds. Because it is losing that amount, you subtract it. 450,000-900= 449,100 pounds
