You want the values of x such that the line defined by the two points (2x+3, x+2) and (0, 2) is perpendicular to the line defined by the two points (x+2, -3-3x) and (8, -1).

<h3>Slope</h3>

The slope of a line is given by the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the formula, the slopes of the two lines are ...

m1 = (2 -(x+2))/(0 -(2x+3)) = (-x)/(-2x-3) = x/(2x +3)

and

m2 = (-1 -(-3-3x))/(8 -(x+2)) = (2+3x)/(6 -x)

<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>

The slopes of perpendicular lines have product of -1:

$\dfrac{x}{2x+3}\cdot\dfrac{2+3x}{6-x}=-1\\\\x(3x+2)=(2x+3)(x-6)\qquad\text{multiply by $(2x+3)(6-x)$}\\\\3x^2+2x=2x^2-9x-18\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\x^2+11x+18=0\qquad\text{put in standard form}\\\\(x+2)(x+9)=0\qquad\text{factor}$

<h3>Solutions</h3>

The values of x that satisfy this equation are x = -2 and x = -9. The attached graphs show the lines for each of these cases.

Convert to a mixed number 8/5

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The improper fraction 8/5 can be changed to the mixed number 1 3/5 by dividing the numerator (8) by the denominator (5). This gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 3.

In a market research survey of 2518 motorists, 252 said that they made an obscene gesture in the previous month.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Probability is 89.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 252 by 2518 and you get 10.01% but that represents the people who did make the gesture so instead you would minus 252 from 2518 and that would be 252 - 2518 = 2266 then you would divide 2266 by 2518 and you get 2266/2518 = 0.8999 which is equal to 89.99%
