Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The line L has the following equation:

● 2x - 3y = 5

Add -2x to both sides

● 2x - 3y -2x = 5 - 2x

● -3y = 5 - 2x

Multiply both sides by -1

● (-1) × -3y = (-1) × (5-2x)

● 3y = 2x - 5

Divide both sides by 3

● 3y/3 = (2x - 5)/3

● y = (2/3)x - 5/3

The line M is perpendicular to L

So the product of their slopes is -1

Let m be the slope of M

● m × (2/3) = -1

● m = -1 × (3/2)

● m = -3/2

So the equation of M is:

● y = (-3/2)x + b

b is the y-intercept

M passes through (2, -10)

Replace by the coordinates of this point

● -10 = (-3/2)×2 + b

● -10 = -3 + b

● b = -10 + 3

● b = -7

The equation of M is

● y = (-3/2)x -7

The answer is III only, or D. 


We can start to solve this by knowing what the HL theorem means. The HL theorem, like its name implies, shows says that if a hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The only triangle that we see a hypotenuse congruent in is in figure III. In figure II, those congruent sides are both legs while in figure I we just see 2 congruent angles. Now in figure III, we can also see that two legs are congruent because of the reflexive property. That means that the answer is III, or D.

You can add a lot of numbers (or so I think). One number I think you can add is 31.

Emily has 3 yellow, 8 green, 5 red, and 14 blue ankle bracelets in a bag. If Emily randomly selects an ankle bracelet out of the
Nookie1986 [14]
The total number of bracelets she has are 

3+8+5+14 = 30 

so, my available choices are 8 from green and 14 from blue
so total = 22
so the answer is = 22/30 = 11/15
