Y = -3/2x + 4...slope is -3/2
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So that means the slope we will need is 2/3...see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign.
Now we use y = mx + b....slope(m) = 2/3....(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9.
Time to sub...we r looking for b, the y intercept.
9 = 2/3(3) + b
9 = 2 + b
9 - 2 = b
7 = b
so the perpendicular equation is : y = 2/3x + 7...but we need it in Ax + By = C form....
y = 2/3x + 7....multiply by common denominator of 3 to get rid of fractions
3y = 2x + 21...subtract 2x from both sides
-2x + 3y = 21....<== ur answer...normally, I would have multiplied this by -1 to make x positive...but that is not an answer choice
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y/9 = 2/6
y/9 = 1/3 (dividing by 2in both numerator and denominator.)
CROSS MULTIPLYING WE GET
3y = 9*1
3y = 9
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
si 3=1
1+1+1 = 3+3+3
3=9

Answer:
13/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, you can't add it yet because the denominators don't match. We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change as well. So, multiply 3 by 8, and get 24. Since 4 is evenly divided by 8, we can multiply just one term to get a common denominator. Multiply 3 by 2, and get 6, then we multiply 4 by 2 and get 8. Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. So now your answer should be 9/8. Well guess what... IT IS THE ANSWER! You can't reduce it anymore so 9/8 is your answer! Hope this helped!
