Answer:

y = 2/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope:

2y = 3x - 5

2/2y = 3/2x - 5/2

y = 3/2x - 5/2

Slope is 3/2

In order for a line to be perpendicular the slope in the equation should be flipped. 3/2 becomes 2/3.

Perpendicular equation:

y = 2/3x + b

b is going to be equal to the y intercept of the point they gave us, so -1.

Answer: y = 2/3x - 1

ANSWER

$x = 13$

EXPLANATION

Use the Pythagoras Theorem to obtain,

${x}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {5}^{2}$

This implies that,

${x}^{2} = 144 + 25$

${x}^{2} = 169$

Take the positive square root of both sides to get,

$x = \sqrt{169}$

$x = 13$

Answer:

$\frac{4^{21}}{5^6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\frac{4^7}{5^2}\right)^3$

$=\frac{\left(4^7\right)^3}{\left(5^2\right)^3}$

$\left(4^7\right)^3$

$=4^{21}$

$=\frac{4^{21}}{\left(5^2\right)^3}$

$\left(5^2\right)^3$

$5^6$

$=\frac{4^{21}}{5^6}$
