Answer:

A. Slope = -³/2

B. y = -³/2x - 6

C. ³/2x + y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Slope of the line would be the negative reciprocal of the slope of 2x - 3y = 12, which is written in standard form. Rewrite in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m = slope.

Thus:

2x - 3y = 12

-3y = -2x + 12

y = -2x/-3 + 12/-3

y = ⅔x - 4

The slope of 2x - 3y = 12 is therefore ⅔.

The slope of the line perpendicular to 2x - 3y = 12 would be the negative reciprocal of its slope, ⅔ which is:

-³/2

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x - 3y = 12 is -³/2

B. To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, first find the equation in point-slope form using the point given (-6, 3) and slope of the line, -³/2.

Substitute a = -6, b = 3, and m = -³/2 into y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 3 = -³/2(x - (-6))

y - 3 = -³/2(x + 6)

Rewrite in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Multiply both sides by 2

2(y - 3) = -3(x + 6)

2y - 6 = -3x - 18

2y = -3x - 18 + 6

2y = -3x - 12

y = -3x/2 - 12/2

y = -³/2x - 6

C. Rewrite y = -³/2x - 6 in standard form.

y = -³/2x - 6

³/2x + y = -6

Brut [27]
Ok. First, Kym went to bed at 8:30. There are only 60 minutes in an hour. 10 minutes to make her bed. 8:30 - 10 = 8:20. She had a 25 minute bath "jeez that's long" 8:20 - 25 = 7:55. Kym spent 15 minutes folding clothes: 7:55 - 15 = 7:40. She began to start folding clothes at 7:40.

Answer:<span> B. 7:40 p.m.
Or you could do it the easy way.
15 + 25 + 10 = 50

50 - 8:30 = 7:40

the same type of television is being sold at two different stores. store A is selling the television for $800, which is $120 mor
svlad2 [7]

Answer: the selling price of the television at store B is $1360

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the selling price of the television at store B is represented by $B. Store A is selling the television for $800, which is $120 more than half the cost of the television at store B. The equation representing this situation is expressed as

800 = B/2 + 120

Multiplying the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

1600 = B + 240

B = 1600 - 240

B = $1360

Helpppp.............m..​
enot [183]

Answer: 135*

Step-by-step explanation:

35* is what the bottom left side of the triangle angle equals because of congruency.

All triangles = 180*

180 - 100 - 35 = 45*

top angle of triangle = 45 *

said angle (45) +  x angle = 180

x = 135*
