The answer is C, y= -3/2x-3 and y=-2/3x+4.

A way to remember if a pair of lines are perpendicular or not is by looking at the two slopes of the equation. In both of those equations, we see that 3/2 and -2/3 are negative reciprocals. Perpendicular slopes are always negative reciprocals meaning that only answer C is the correct one.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because perpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slopes. So, 3/2 is the opposite reciprocal of -2/3 since it is negative and that is the opposite sign. Then, it is the reciprocal of the fraction since the numerator and the denominator are switched. If you check the other answer options, you will see that none of the slopes are the exact opposite reciprocal.

Complete the sentences below the radius of a circle is _____ the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is ______ the

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Half; twice

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle, the radius is said to be the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the edge of the circle, it is denoted as "r". The radius is called a radii if it is more than one.. The radius of a circle is half the length of the diameter of a circle because the diameter of a circle is the distance of the line that passes through the center of a circle touching both edges of the circle. It is denoted as "d".

Thus,

2r = d

r = d/2

For example, if the radius of a circle is 10cm, the diameter of the circle will be calculated as: d = 2 * 10 = 20cm. Which means if the radius is 10cm, diameter will be 20cm.

Therefore, the radius of a circle is half the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius

What is the value of X if 9^x^-^1-2=25?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add two to both sides to get $9^{x-1}=27$

There are two ways to solve this from here

Think about what power you would have to raise 9 to to get to 27. $9^{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 3 and $3^3=27$ . So, multiplying the powers (because it is a power to a power) you get $9^{\frac{3}{2}}=27$ . This means that $x - 1 = \frac{3}{2}$ or x = $\frac{5}{2}$ .
Take the log of both sides.

This gives us $\log_9(27)=x-1\\\log_9(27)+1=x\\\log_9(3^3)+1=x\\3\log_9(3)+1=x\\3(\frac{1}{2})+1=x\\\frac{3}{2}+1 = x\\\\\frac{5}{2} = x$
