So we are given an initial equation of: y=2x-7.

We are told that a new path is going to be perpendicular to this line. So to find a slope that is perpendicular to a line, we take the slope of the known line (in this case 2) and we flip it and change the sign. So since this slope is essentially \frac{2}{1}, we are going to flip it to make it \frac{1}{2} and change the sign to make it -\frac{1}{2}.

So now we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{2}, we can start a new equation for this line:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b

We are also told that the path will intersect at (-2,-3) - this is a solution to the two lines. So to find b in this new equation, let's plug in the x and y values found in the point:

-3=-\frac{1}{2}(-2)+b

Then solve for b:

-3=1+b

b=-4

So then we plug in our value for b and leave x and y:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-4

So this equation now represents the new path.

898÷91,596 what is the answer
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

For 100, your answer will be 102; For 898, your answer will be x; 100*x = 102*898 ... 102/x = 100/898 or x/102 = 898/100; x = 898*102/100 = 91596/100 = 915.96.

Answer:

  • $9 and $7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The first equation:</u>

  • x + 2y = 23

<u>The second equation:</u>

  • 2x + 3y = 39

<u>Convert to slope-intercept form:</u>

  • x + 2y = 23 ⇒ 2y = -x + 23 ⇒ y = -1/2x + 11.5
  • 2x + 3y = 39 ⇒ 3y = -2x + 39 ⇒ y = -2/3x + 13

<em>The graph is attached</em>

<u>Intersection point is (9, 7)</u>

Which number has an 8 that is 1/10 the value of the 8 in 78?
eimsori [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Firstly we need to determine the place value of 8 in the term 78

in the term, we have 7 tens and 8 units

hence the place value of 8 in 78 is the units

Step two:

Now 1/10 of 8 is given as

0.1*8= 0.8

According to the problem statement, we are expected to find a number that has an 8 that is the same as 0.8.

Say 5.8, 6.8, 9.8

we cannot say exactly, but any number that has an 8 that is one decimal away is an equivalent
