Answer:

The perpendicular line has a slope of -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have a slope that multiplies to -1

3/2 * m = -1

Multiply each side by 2/3

3/2 * 2/3 *m = -1 * 2/3

m = -2/3

Answer: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation: The key to understanding this problem is to understand what it means when slopes are perpendicular.

To most students, perpendicular lines are simply

lines that meet  at a 90 degree angle.

However, when dealing with these kinds of problems, it's important

to think about perpendicular lines in terms of their slopes.

As a rule, the slopes of two perpendicular

lines are always negative reciprocals.

So if we know that the slope of one line is 3/2, we can find the slope of the other line by finding the negative reciprocal of 3/2.

So we take the fraction and flip it, then we change the sign.

So the negative reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3.

Write the exponential function.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

f(x) = 10*(b)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

exponential function : y=a*(b)^x

where a = y intercept and b = factor ( what you multiply by )

looking at the table the y intercept is at (0,10) so a = 10

so we now have y = 10 * (b)^x

to find the factor we simply plug in one of the ordered pairs.

note that the ordered pair chosen does not effect the outcome

i chose (2,250)

we have y = 10 * (b)^x

(x,y) = (2,250)

250 = 10 * (b)^2

divide both sides by 10

25 = b^2

take the square root of both sides

5 = b

the final equation would be f(x) = 10 * (b)^x

Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.17...?
mamaluj [8]
9/17 = .529411...
8/45 = .17777 (the seven repeats)
17/9 = 1.8888 (the eight repeats)
16/90 = .17777 (the seven repeats)

While B and D both equal approximately 1.7. B is the simplified form, So B is the answer

Brainliest would be fantastic :) Have a nice day.

2 + 3 × 16 − 2 × 21 − 3 = <br> 5<br> 14<br> 35<br> 40
Ganezh [65]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the BODMAS, when we solve an expression,

We follow the following sequence,

1. Bracket/ parenthesis

2. Of

3. Division

4.Multiplication

5. Addition

6. Subtraction

Here, the given expression is,

2 + 3\times 16 - 2\times 21 - 3

Thus, solving the given expression by following the BODMAS,

We get,

Step 1. 2 + 48 - 42 - 3

Step 2. 50 - 42 - 3

Step 3. 8-3

Step 4. 5
