Answer:

point slope form: y + 4 = 3/8 (x + 5)       slope intercept: y = 3/8x - 17/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-1 - (-4) / 3 - (-5)

slope = 3/8

y + 4 = 3/8 (x + 5)

y = 3/8x + b

-1 = 3/8(3) + b

-1 = 9/8 + b

-17/8

y = 3/8x - 17/8

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6 3 x + 2 y = 6 ?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

3x+2y=6

isolate the variable y

2y=-3x+6

y=-(3/2)x+3

The slope of the given line is m=-(3/2)

step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other ( the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

so

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=-3/2

so

m2=2/3

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 2/3

Lunna [17]
So based on your question where GD is 1=4 4/3 what could be the value of GH. So first of that you need to consider that point D. is the midpoint of GH and GD = DH right ? So with that information the answer would be 9 1/3
