The equation y = 6x + 2 is in the format which is called the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope. Therefore the slope here is 6.
For the line perpendicular, the slope of it is a negative reciprocal from the original slope, that is m(perpendicular) = -1/m

Slope the line perpendicular is m(perpendicular) = -1/6. The answer is C.

The correct answer is C. -1/6, because (-1/6)* (6)= -1.

The four points (−2, 5), (−2, −1), (6, −1), and (3, 5) are the vertices of a polygon. What is the area, in square units, of this

crimeas [40]

Look at the picture.

The polygon is a right-angled trapezoid.

The area is:
$A=\frac{a+b}{2} \times h$

The points (-2,-1) and (6,-1) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 6-(-2)=6+2=8. The length of a is 8 units.
The points (-2,5) and (3,5) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 3-(-2)=3+2=5. The length of b is 5 units.
The points (-2,5) and (-2,-1) lie on the same vertical line, so the distance between them is 5-(-1)=5+1=6. The length of h is 6 units.

$A=\frac{8+5}{2} \times 6=\frac{13}{2} \times 6=13 \times 3=39$

The area is 39 square units.

What is the value of x in the equation 2x+3y=36y when y=6?

jonny [76]

Answer:

y = 6 so

2x + 3y = 36y is equal to:

2x + 3*6 = 36*6

-> 2x + 18 = 216

We must now move 18 to the other side of the equation. As we do that, we also change it's sign to negative 18:

2x = 216 - 18

We simplify this

2x = 198

Now, that we got to this point, we know that 2x is equal to 198. To find x we must divide the both sides of the equation by two:

2x/2 = 198/2

And we get that

x = 99

Adding/Subtracting rational expressions

6/(x-1)-5x/4
subtracting the above we put the fraction under the same denominator:
6/(x-1)-5x/4
multiplying the denominators we get:
4(x-1)
thus subtracting we get:
6/(x-1)-5x/4
=(4*6-5x(x-1))/[4(x-1)]
=[24-5x^2+5x]/(4x-4)
Answer:
(-5x^2+5x+24)/(4x-4)

9]
3/(x+7)+4/(x-8)
the common denominator is:
(x+7)*(x-8)=(x+7)(x-8)
thus adding the fractions we put them under the same denominator as follows:
[3(x-8)+4(x+7)]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=[3x-24+4x+28]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=(7x+4)/[(x+7)(x-8)]
