What equation do I write for a line that has a y intercept of 2 and is perpendicular to y=2/3x+4?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has the format y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The question gives you the y-intercept, so b = 2.

As for the slope, you need the fact that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite ("negative") reciprocals of each other.

The slope of the line given in the question is 2/3. The opposite reciprocal of 2/3 is - 3/2.

The equation for the line is y = -3/2x + 2

Answer:

Erie to Rochester is 145 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points of interest as C, E, and R, we are told that ...

CE + ER = CR . . . . . the various distances are segments of a straight line

For CE = 94 and CR = 239, we can fill in the given information and solve for ER.

94 + ER = 239

ER = 239 -94 . . . . . . subtract 94 from both sides of the equation

ER = 145

The distance from Erie to Rochester is 145 miles.

The attached diagram represents the Venn diagram of the sets

<h3>How to draw the Venn diagram?</h3>

The sets are given as:

From the above representation, we have the following highlights:

Set A and set B will not intersect, because no number can be even and odd
Set C and set D will intersect set A because they have common elements 6 and 2, respectively
Set C and set D will intersect set B because they have common elements 3 and 3, respectively

Using the above highlights, we can now draw the Venn diagram
