40 = x% of 32
32x = 40
x = 40/32
x = 1.25
multiply by 100 to convert to percentage...
x = 125%
40 is 125% of 32
Answer:
x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3(5x - 7) = 47
2x + 15x - 21 = 47
17x - 21 = 47
17x = 68
x = 68/17
x = 4.
In order to find the slop it is probably best to put the equation in y=mx+b form. This means to get y by itself on one side.
24x-9y=63 will then become -9y=63-24x in which y has been isolated.
Then you should divided by -9 to get the final form: y=24x/9 -63/9.
Now you can get the slope of the perpendicular line by taking the slope of the original equation and finding its reciprocal which is -9/24x. This is your answer.
The slope of the line is 2. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!
The slope of a line is found by using the formula rise/run (rise over run). This means that by starting at the initial value of the y-intercept, 3, we would count how many units away we are from the next complete point. We do so by counting from left to right, and in this case, going up and then to the right. To get from the point (0, 3) to the point (1, 5), we would move two spaces vertically along the y-axis and one space horizontally along the x-axis. Because the slope of the line is found using the formula m = rise over run, the slope would be 2/1 because we went up 2 points and to the right one. When simplifying, we will find that 2 divided by 1 equals 2. Hence, our slope is 2.
Your final answer: The slope of the line is 2/1 or 2. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
To get the slope you need to solve for y:
12x+3y=-17
Subtract 12x from both sides:
3y=-12x-17
Divide everything by 3:
y=-4x-17/3
The slope is -4.
