Answer:

3x +2y +24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the equation of a perpendicular line can be found by swapping the coefficients of x and y, then negating one of them. The value of the constant will be what is required to make the line pass through the given point.

The equation will be of the form ...

3x +2y +c = 0

At the given point, (x, y) = (-6, -3), we have ...

3(-6) +2(-3) +c = 0 . . . . substitute the given point coordinates

-18 -6 +c = 0 . . .simplify

c = 24 . . . . . . . . add 24

The general-form equation for the line is ...

3x +2y +24 = 0 . . . . . shown in blue in the attachment

Using Cramer's rule to solve linear systems.

Rzqust [24]

Answer: Last Option

$x=2,\ y=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cramer's rule says that given a system of equations of two variables x and y then:

$x =\frac{Det(A_X)}{Det(A)}$

$y =\frac{Det(A_Y)}{Det(A)}$

For this problem we know that:

$Det(A) = |A|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&-6\\8&-2\\\end{array}\right|$

Solving we have:

$|A|= 4*(-2) -(-6)*8\\\\|A|=40$

$Det(A_X) = |A_X|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}38&-6\\26&-2\\\end{array}\right|$

Solving we have:

$|A_X|=38*(-2) - (-6)*26\\\\|A_X|=80$

$Det(A_Y) = |A_Y|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&38\\8&26\\\end{array}\right|$

Solving we have:

$|A_Y|=4*(26) - (38)*8\\\\|A_Y|=-200$

Finally

$x =\frac{|A_X|}{|A|} = \frac{80}{40}\\\\x=2$

$y =\frac{|A_Y|}{|A|} = \frac{-200}{40}\\\\y=-5$

Sam is in charge of filling a rectangular hole with cement. The hole is 9 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. How much ceme

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Sam will need 54 ft of cement

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is length (l) x width (w) x height (h). In this problem, the length is 9, the width is 3 and the height is 2. Multiply 9x3x2 to get the volume of the hole and you'll get 54.
