<u>Answer:</u>

-2/3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to find the slope of a line which is perpendicular of a line with an equation 2y=3x-1.

We know that the slope of line which is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of that perpendicular line.

So writing the given equation of a line in the slope intercept form:

2y=3x-1 ---> y=\frac{3}{2} x-\frac{1}{2}

Here the slope of this line is \frac{3}{2} so the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the given line will be -\frac{2}{3}.

What is the solution (x,y) to the system of equations below <br><br> x + 9y = 3<br> y= 1/3 x + 7
Alex_Xolod [135]

Let's solve this by substitution.


y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.


clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3


Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5


Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7

= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.


Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).

Please help. Sooooo confused. GOAL is a quadrilateral in which GO is parallel to AL. If the measures of angle G=angle O = 40 deg
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Angle A and L are 140 degrees each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since GO and AL are parallel to each other, we can use the same side interior theorem to figure out angle A and L. Let's focus on GA first. We know that same side interior angles are supplementary (sum is 180 degrees). We know angle G is 40 degrees, so to figure out angle A, you do 180-40 which equals 140. So angle A is 140 degrees. You repeat this process for OL and you should also get 140 degrees for L.

One spinner has three equally sized sectors numbered 1, 2, and 3. A second spinner has two equally sized sectors labeled Top (T)
SSSSS [86.1K]
I would say, well, if there are 3 sides that are equal on spinner 1. They are equal. But, we are focusing on spinner two that has two sides. If there is only 2 equal sides then, they would have to be straight across from each other. So that is 180. 360 is full circle. take away 180 to get answer. 
360-180=180
I hope this helped. And sorry if it is not the correct answer. But that is how I would of answered it
