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

Mathematics

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

Jason begins at the start of a path and rides his bike 11 12 miles on the path. The path is 12 14 miles long. Enter the distance
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Number of miles remaining for Jason to reach end of the path = 3/4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance of the path = 12 1/4 miles

Distance reached by Jason's bike on the path = 11 1/2 miles

Enter the distance, in miles, Jason must ride to reach the end of the path.

Number of miles remaining for Jason to reach end of the path = Total distance of the path - Distance reached by Jason's bike on the path

= 12 1/4 miles - 11 1/2 miles

= 49/4 - 23/2

= (49-46) / 4

= 3/4 miles

Number of miles remaining for Jason to reach end of the path = 3/4 miles

Create and solve a system of equations for the following scenario: Luke and Leia are selling hot dogs and hamburgers at a minor
mixas84 [53]

So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.
