Given the following sets.

What is an equation that is perpendicular to the line y = -2?

finlep [7]

Answer:

y=2 is a line parallel to the x axis that passes through the point (0,2)

A line perpendicular to it would any line that is parallel to the y axis, which crosses the x axis at any point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are always found by reciprocating the negative value of the slope in question.

The slope in this case, in y = 2, is zero. You have a horizontal line hovering at the value “2” in the y-dimension, parallel to the x dimension. You can tell the slope is zero since there is no coefficient value paired with “x” so you can assume that since value multiplied by 0 is zero, the same instance has been performed in favor of a dearth of “x.”

Alright. So slope zero. The negative of zero is zero, since zero is neutral. It is neither positive nor negative (though some people tend to see it as positive for reasons irrelevant to your question. Will be answered at your request).

If you take the reciprocal of zero, it becomes undefined because what was once a numerator (0 divided by any number except 0, because then it would already be undefined) becomes a denominator (any numerator divided by 0 becomes undefined by default, as explained already). So now you can assume that the new line is undefined. This means that it is vertical! The only line that does not pass as a function. And it makes sense. A slope of 0 is 90° from a slope of no defined value, which will take on an unknown x-value since its location is not specified.

It's a little blurry sorry please help

Ghella [55]

Answer:

It's X=2

Working out:

(left one):

2(x+3)=10

2x+6=10

2x=10-6

2x=4

x=2

Working out:

(right one):

2(x+3) must be all divided by 2 so it will be x+3 and same for 10, it will be 5 so...

x+3=5

x=5-3

x=2

Hope it helps ^---^

Are 12/7 and 36/21 proportional

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

12 * 21 = 7 * 36

Simplifying

12 * 21 = 7 * 36

Multiply 12 * 21

252 = 7 * 36

Multiply 7 * 36

252 = 252

Add '-252' to each side of the equation.

252 + -252 = 252 + -252

Combine like terms: 252 + -252 = 0

0 = 252 + -252

Combine like terms: 252 + -252 = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

to arrive at 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution. How many liters of eac

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution.

Now, to find the number of liters of saline solution each should be used.

Let the liters of 90% saline solution mix be $x.$

And let the liters of 40% saline solution mix be $y.$

So, the total number of liters:

$x+y=2000.$

$y=2000-x\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total percentage of saline solution:

$90\%\ of\ x+40\%\ of\ y=60\%\ of\ 2000$

$\frac{90}{100}\times x+\frac{40}{100}\times y=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$0.9x+0.4y=1200$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.9x+0.4(2000-x)=1200$

$0.9x+800-0.4x=1200$

$0.5x+800=1200$

Subtracting both sides by 800 we get:

$0.5x=400$

Dividing both sides by 0.5 we get:

$x=800.$

The liters of 90% saline solution mix = 800.

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) to get the liters of 40% saline solution:

$y=2000-x$

$y=2000-800$

$y=1200.$

Thus, the liters of 40% saline solution = 1200.

Therefore, 800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.
