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

Current rules for telephone area codes allow the use of digits 2-9 for the first digit, and 0-9 for the second and third dig

Anna35 [415]

Using the fundamental counting theorem, we have that:

648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.

The fundamental counting principle states that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are ways to do both things.

For the area code:
