Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 2x + 3y = 9 into this form

subtract 2x from both sides

3y = - 2x + 9 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{3}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = -\frac{1}{-2/3} = \frac{3}{2}, hence

y = \frac{3}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 3 = 8

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line

Translate the sentence into an equation.
4vir4ik [10]

The translation of the given sentence into an equation is: 7(b + 3) = 1.

<h3>How to Translate a Sentence into an Equation?</h3>

Variables can be used to represent an unknown quantity when translating statements into equation. The word "times" is represented as or means "×" (multiplication). "Sum" means addition as well.

Thus, the sentence given can be translated as shown below:

The unknown number is represented as variable b.

"The sum of a number (b) and 3" would be translated as: b + 3.

"Seven (7) times the sum of a number and 3 (b + 3)" would therefore be: 7(b + 3).

Therefore, translating the whole sentence into an equation, we would have:

7(b + 3) = 1.

Thus, the translation of the given sentence into an equation is: 7(b + 3) = 1.
