Find the slope of everyline that is perpendicular to the graph of the equation y-2/3x=2

Mathematics

Flauer [41]3 years ago

Answer:

m= -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the slope of the line given. We are given the equation:

y-2/3x=2

We must get this equation in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). In order to do this, we must get y isolated.

2/3x is being subtracted from y. We want to preform the inverse, so we should add 2/3x to both sides.

y-2/3x+2/3x=2+2/3x

y=2+2/3x

Rearrange the terms.

y= 2/3x+2

Now the equation is in slope intercept form. (y=mx+b). 2/3 and x are being multiplied, so we know that the slope is 2/3.

Now, we have to find the perpendicular slope. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

1. Negative

m=2/3

Negate the slope.

m= -2/3

2. Reciprocal

m= -2/3

Flip the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number).

m= -3/2

The perpendicular slope is -3/2

What is the point slope of an equation with slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10,-2)
Verdich [7]
The answer would be B. It gives you the slope and a point on the graph so use that to your advantage. All of the answers show the slope and the slope in the right place, so for now it can be any of them. Then we get to the point (10,-2). For point slope form you would switch the signs for both x and y. So the Y would now be +2 and x would be -10. Y goes together with y, and X goes together with x. In this case y+-y= slope(X+-x) Substitute in for them. Y+2=3/5(X-10)

How do I find Q15 c, d and e???
klasskru [66]
I would make a tree because there are not that many possibilities. to get 99 with numbers between 1 and 50 you have 50+49 and 49 and 50 nothing else will work because if one spin is less than 49 say 48 to get 99 you need 51 which is impossible. either you 50 then 49 or you get 49 then 50. the others are a bit harder because you need to find all possible spins that will sum to 52 which is a much larger number.
