Answer:

y= -3/2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a perpendicular line you take your slope and make it the opposite (flip it and change the sign).

Slope originally=2/3

New slope= -3/2

Next we will use the point slope equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=y value

m=slope

x1=x value

y--6= -3/2(x-12)  Since you have y minus negative 6 you get to change it to y+6

y+6= -3/2(x-12)  Now distribute your slope to both terms inside the parenthesis.

y+6= -3/2(x) -3/2(-12)

y+6= -3/2x +18    Finally subtract 6 from both sides.

  -6             -6

y= -3/2x + 12

 Amy​'s car holds at most 19 gallons of gas. Now it has 9 gallons. Use pencil and paper. Explain how to find the amount of gas s
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy​'s car's maximum capacity to hold gas = 19 gallons

present amount of gas  = 9 gallons

As the car's capacity is 19 gallons and present amount in tank is 9 gallons, so we can fill it as much as so that the amount in tank becomes 19 gallons.

let assume she fills x gallons

then x gallons and 9 gallons present earlier should be equal to 19 gallon, as the tank can not hold more than that.

lets write it mathematically

x + 9 = 19

subtracting 9 from both side

x + 9 - 9 = 19 - 9

=> x = 10

Thus, 10 gallons of gas is needed to fill the gas tank.
