What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation 3y=-4x+2?

1 answer:

6 0

The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.

To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).

3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3

The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.

Answer:
3/4 (the first option)

Dan has twice as many stickers as Cam does. If Dan gives Cam 15 of his stickers he will still have 22 more than Cam. How many st

LenKa [72]

You can solve this question by setting up an equation. Dan has twice as many stickers as Cam does. We can call Dan 2x, and Cam x. So the equation would be:
2x-15=x+22.
Then solve this equation:
Add 15 on both sides
2x=x+37
Subtract x on both sides
2x-x=37
X=37.
Therefore Cam has 37 stickers, and Dan has 74 stickers.
