Answer:

<h2>          y = -¹/₂ x - 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇒    m₁×m₂ = -1

 

y = 2x + 3   ⇒   m₁=2

2×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₂

The y-intercept is b=-6 so the equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                y = -¹/₂ x - 6

Which ratio represents 36%? <br> A. 3/8 <br> B. 9/25<br> C. 7/20<br> D. 11/30
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:  B. 9/25

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

36% = 36/100

36% = (9*4)/(25*4)

36% = 9/25

Using your calculator, you should find that 9/25 = 0.36 which converts to 36%, so that helps confirm the answer.

The dimensions of a gymnastic floor are 40 ft by 40 ft. the performance floor is 1 ft less, or 39 ft, per side.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the square root of 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, because the format of the question wasn't clear, but it sounded like we have to find the diagonal distance of the room from one corner to the opposite. If the sides are 40ft long on both sides, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

40^2+40^2=c^2

1600+1600=c^2

3200=c^2

c=sqrt(3200)

or about 56.5
