Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

3x+2y = 7

Subtract 3x

2y = -3x+7

Divide by 2

y = -3/2x +7/2

This is in slope intercept form  y = mx+b  where m is the slope

The slope is -3/2

A line perpendicular is the negative reciprocal

-1/(-3/2)

2/3

The slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3

Answer:

Slope of the line perpendicular to the given line = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slopes of lines perpendicular to each other is - 1

That is,

      slope_{1} \times slope _ 2 = - 1\\

Given equation of the line :

                                  3x + 2y = 7

                                          2y = - 3x + 7

                                          y = -\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}

Therefore, \ slope \ of  \ the \ given \ line \ , slope _1 =  \ -\frac{3}{2}

<em><u>Find slope of the line perpendicular to the given line:</u></em>

<em><u /></em>\frac{-3}{2} \times slope_2 = - 1\\\\slope_2 = - 1 \times \frac{2}{-3} = \frac{2}{3}<em><u /></em>

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 45% pure anti
Hoochie [10]

The gallons of the first brand of antifreeze should be 60 gallons.

The gallons of the second brand of antifreeze should be 90 gallons.

<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question?</h3>

0.2f + 0.45s = 52.50 (0.35 x 150) equation 1

f + s = 150  equation 2

Where:

  • f = gallons of the first antifreeze
  • s =  gallons of the second antifreeze

how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

Multiply equation 2 by 0.2

0.2f + 0.2s = 30 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2

0.25s = 22.50

s = 22.50 / 0.25

s = 90

f = 150 - 90 = 60 gallons
