The slope of this equation is 3/2 once you rearrange it into slope intercept form: y=3/2x-5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to this equation is just opposite sign-reciprocal of the Original slope: 3/2

Change the sign to -3/2 and flip it to get -2/3

The answer is -2/3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to the equation 3x - 2y = 5

Hope this helps.

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to the the slope of the perpendicular line we must first find the slope of line given in the problem. To do this we must transform this equation into the slope intercept format

The slope intercept form of a liner equation is:

Y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is the y - intercept value.

solving the equation in the problem for y produces :

3x - 3x + 2y = -3x - 5

0 + 2y = 3x - 5

2y = - 3x - 5

2y = -3x - 5

2 2

y = - 3 x - 5

2. 2

Therefore the slope of this line is m = - 3

2

the slope of perpendicular line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line we are given,or

- 1

m

so for our problem the slope of a perpendicular line is - - 2 = 2

An equilateral is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon. The square and regular hexagon are s

Kay [80]

Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle. This can be obtained by finding each shaded area and then adding them.

<h3>Find the expression for the area of the shaded regions:</h3>

From the question we can say that the Hexagon has three shapes inside it,

Pentagon

Square

Triangle

Also it is given that,

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon.

From this we know that equilateral triangle is the smallest, then square, then regular pentagon and then a regular hexagon.

A pentagon is shown inside a regular hexagon.

Area of first shaded region = Area of the hexagon - Area of pentagon

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square.

Area of second shaded region = Area of the square - Area of equilateral triangle

The expression for total shaded region would be written as,

Shaded area = Area of first shaded region + Area of second shaded region

Hence,

⇒ Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle.

Find the length of side X

NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the 2 other sides, that is

x² + 6² = 17²

x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{253}$ → C
