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.

Solve the equation<br> -18 + 24 = -2(x+6)
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-18+24 = -2(x+6) Distribute and simplify

6 = -2x-12 Add 12 to both sides

18 = -2x Divide by -2 on both sides

-9 = x Here's your answer

Hope this helps! :D

Disagree.
b/8 = 56; multiply both sides by 8 to solve for b, and you get b = 448
