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>

Work out x when the area is root 4 2^2 and angle C is 45 and ab are (x+2)(2x-3)
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  • x = 2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area formula:</u>

  • A = 1/2bh

<u>The height is:</u>

  • h = (x + 2)sin 45° = √2(x + 2)/2

<u>Substitute the area value an set an equation:</u>

  • 4√2 = (2x - 3)√2(x + 2)/2
  • (2x - 3)(x + 2) = 8
  • 2x² + x - 6 = 8
  • 2x² + x - 14 = 0
  • D = 1 + 4*2*14 = 113
  • x = (-1 + √113)/4 = 2.41 (rounded)    

Note. the second root ignored as negative
