Answer: y = 3/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation: For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of "m" and reverse the sign.
- 2/3 becomes +3/2
Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"
y = mx + b
-2 = 3/2(-2) + b
-2 = -3 + b
-2 +3 = b
+1 = b Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1
When solving these proportions we just remember when moving a number from one side to the other if it started in the numerator it ends up in the denominator and vice versa.
I'll do it in two steps here for teaching purposes; it's not too hard to go directly to the answer.
Answer:
x = .5
Step-by-step explanation:
4 / x = 8
4 / .5 = 8
x = .5
Answer:
x = 2.667
Step-by-step explanation:
so first you wanna isolate the x by adding 2 to both sides
3x - 2 = 6 ---> 3x = 8
then divide both sides by 3 to get the x alone
x = 8/3 = 2.667
Answer:
The length=16cm and the width=8cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the length is twice the breadth or width of the rectangle
Let's assume that the breadth of the rectangle is x.
Thus the length is 2x.
Given perimeter=48cm
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b) where l is length and b is breadth.
2(x+2x)=48
(3x)=48/2
3x=24
x=8cm
2x=16cm
