5. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (-1, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2

x + 6
O y = 3/2x + 5/2
O y = 3/2x + 4/3
O y = -2/3x + 5/2
O y = -2/3x + 4/3

Answer:

D.  y = -2/3 x + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a perpendicular line, everything except the y-intercept becomes opposite. So 3/2x + 6 will become -2/3x.

To find the slope, you have to plug the coordinates into the equation so far which is y = -2/3x + b

y = -2/3x + b

2 = -2/3(-1) + b

2 = 2/3 + b

4/3 = b

So the equation is y = -2/3 x + 4/3.

If 2(4x + 3) -12 = 3x -6, then what value of x makes the equation true ?
poizon [28]

x=0

let's solve your equation step-by-step

2(4x+3)-12=3x-6

(8x)+(6-12)=3x-6

8x-6=3x-6

subtract 3x from both sides.

8x-6-3x=3x-6-3x

5x-6+6=-6+6

5x=0

5x/5=0/5

x=0

I hope that helps you

tangare [24]

Answer:

3/6 or 1/2 (50%)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 6 containers of each flavor, correct?

If you pick 3 of the same flavor, 3/6, it would look like that fraction.

If you simplify it, It'd be 1/2.

If you want it as a percent, It'd be 50%.

As a decimal, It's .50.

An experienced roofer can work twice as fast as her helper. working together, they can shingle a new section of roof in 4 hours.
AlladinOne [14]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: amount of time the assistant works
 Y: amount of time the experienced person works
 We then have the following system of equations:
 x + y = 4
 y = (1/2) x
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 8/3
 y = 4/3
 Answer:
 
It would take the roofer, working alone, to complete the same job about:
 
y = 4/3 hours
