Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the given slope, so it is ...

m = -1/(-3/2) = 2/3

The point-slope form of the equation of the line with slope m through point (h, k) can be written ...

y = m(x -h) +k

For this slope and the point (6, 3), the equation of the line is ...

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

y = 2/3x -4 +3

y = 2/3x -1 . . . . . matches none of the offered choices

_____

The attached graph shows this equation is the one that goes through the given point.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (3 + 5) / (2 + 2)

Slope = 2

Choose a point: (2, 3)

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

Factor the polynomial.<br> 13x² – 20x – 12

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

(13 x + 6) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

13 x^2 - 20 x - 12

Factor the quadratic 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12. The coefficient of x^2 is 13 and the constant term is -12. The product of 13 and -12 is -156. The factors of -156 which sum to -20 are 6 and -26. So 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12 = 13 x^2 - 26 x + 6 x - 12 = x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6)

Factor 13 x + 6 from x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

Answer: (13 x + 6) (x - 2)

A dragon likes to eat red peppers and green peppers because they help him breathe fire. If the dragon eats 2 red peppers, he can

N76 [4]

it's 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so if 2 peppers is 25 meters long, you just divide 25 by 2 to get how many peppers the dragon breathes as 1 pepper. So then you get 12.5, And if you do that with the green peppers, you get 1.5. So, the dragon ate 3 green peppers, so it's 12.5 x 3 , aka. 12.5+12.5+12.5. That's 37.5, and if you do 1.5x5 for the green peppers, it's 7.5, And now you add 37.5+7.5, and you get 45.

podryga [215]

% change = (new value - old value)/old valu x 100 = (1,045 - 950)/950 x 100 = 95/950 x 100 = 0.1 x 100 = 10%
