Just divide the part by the whole
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of trinagle = b * h /2
8*3= 24/2= 12
It will be 3 hours until they are the same hight
Answer:
The answer is that x = 6 and y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find these values, we can use elimination. To do so, we multiply the first equation by 2 and then add the equations together.
4x + 8y = -24
-4x - 2y = -12
------------------
6y = -36
y = -6
Now that we have this value, we can plug the value into one of the originals and find x.
2x + 4y = -12
2x + 4(-6) = -12
2x - 24 = -12
2x = 12
x = 6
Answer:
y= -1.5x-7 is the equation of the perpendicular line
Here's why:
when we convert 2x-3y=8 to standard form, we get y= 2/3x-8/3. This means the perpendicular line will have a slope of the negative reciprocal of the original one, so the perpendicular slope is -1.5. When we substitute the points (-2,-4) into the equation y=-1.5x+b, we get a b value of -7. So the perpendicular line equation is y= -1.5x-7. You can't the parallel line equation with the points (-2,-4) as it is part of the line 2x-3y=8.
