Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 6 = -9
3x = -15
x = -5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line parallel to that line is -5/6 because parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.
-2x+3y=-6 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6 Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3
The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.
y=mx+b Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b Combine like terms
-2=-9+b Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b
The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels 28 miles in the direction N 43° E.
Displacement in vector form
= 28 cos43 i + 28sin43j
= 20.47 i + 19.1 j
The captain then turns the boat 90° and travels another 15 miles in the direction S 47° E
Displacement
= 15 cos47 i - 15 sin47 j
= 10.22 i - 10.97 j
Total displacement
= 20.47 i + 19.1 j + 10.22 i - 10.97 j
= 30.69 i - 8.13 j
Magnitude of displacement
= 31.75 miles
Angle with east direction
TanФ = - 8.13 / 30.69
Ф = 15 degree south of east.
