Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-2, 15) and is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 3y = 4 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

3y = - 2x + 4 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x + $\frac{4}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{3}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3} }$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (- 2, 15) into the partial equation

15 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 15 + 3 = 18

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 18 → B

P->q is false and p is true.<br> q is<br> a.true<br> b.false

kirill [66]

Answer:

Choice b. $q$ has to be false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the truth table of $p \implies q$ ( $p$ implies $q$ ).

$p$ is true and $q$ is true: $p \implies q$ would be true.
$p$ is true and $q$ is false: $p \implies q$ would be false.
$p$ is false and $q$ is true: $p \implies q$ would be true.
$p$ is false and $q$ is false: $p \implies q$ would also be true.

The only combination where $p \implies q$ is false is when $p$ is true and $q$ is false. Hence, the $q\!$ here must be false.
