The lines whose equations are 2x + 3y = 4 and y = mx + 6 will be perpendicular when

Natalka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

These lines will be perpendicular when m =  ³⁄₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular when the product of their gradients equal to -1. So:

m₁ * m₂ = -1

Let's get the first equation in gradient-intercept form (same as equation two).

2x + 3y = 4

3y = -2x + 4

y = -⅔x + ⁴⁄₃

We know the first gradient, and now we can find the gradient of the second line (which when multiplied will result in -1 as these lines are perpendicular). So:

-⅔ * m₂ = -1

m₂ =  ³⁄₂

Robin rides a personal watercraft 75° west of south at 70 miles/hour. the water current is moving 6 miles/hour at an angle of 75
Artist 52 [7]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainy.

The path of the watercraft and the water current, when joined by a line forming a right angle would make a right triangle. From here, we can know the component in which it is along the same direction with the watercraft. Let's denote this as x.

x = 6 miles/h * cos 75 degrees
x = 1.55 miles/h

Thus, the actual speed = 70 + 1.55 = 71.55 miles/h

Give a example of two fractions with the quotient of 5/12
olasank [31]
Poorly phrased question, but the general answer is 5k/(12k), where k <span>∈ Z (i.e. k is an integer).

So, 5/12 and 10/24.</span>

Find a ratio equivalent to 8/3. Then, use te ratios to write a proportion
Galina-37 [17]
A ratio that is equivalent to 8/3 is 16/6.

Because:-  8*2= 16
                  3*2=6

16/6 is equivalent to 8/3

Writing a proportion:-

8/3=16/6

What is the height of a triangle if the base is 60 and the hypotenuse is 61?
lions [1.4K]

Assuming that the triangle is a right triangle, we can reverse engineer the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2).

60^2 + x^2 = 61^2

3600 + x^2 = 3721

x^2 = 3600 - 3721

x^2 = 121

x = sqrt121

x = 11
