Find the equation of a line passing through (-4,-3) and perpendicular to<br> 3 x + 2 y = 14.

Reil [10]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$3x+2y=14\implies 2y=-3x+14\implies y=\cfrac{-3x+14}{2}\implies y = \cfrac{-3x}{2}+\cfrac{14}{2} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}x+7\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so therefore

$\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-3}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{-3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{-3}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3 and passes through (-4 , -3)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \implies y+3=\cfrac{2}{3}(x+4) \\\\\\ y+3=\cfrac{2}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}-3\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}$

determine the event space for rolling a sum of 12 with two dice. how many elements are in the event space?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Only one element is in the event space for rolling the sum of 12 with two dice

(6,6)

If you must roll the sum of 12 with two dice, you must have rolled 6 in the two dice

PLEASE HURRY<br> How do i solve these problems

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

X = 13

X = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since it is a right angle set the equation up as X +2 + 75 = 90.

X =13

2. Set up x - 20 + 40 = 90 since right triangles are 90 degrees

x = 70
