Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (-2, 9) and the linear equation of a <u>horizontal line</u>, y = 6:

The linear equation of a horizontal line with a slope of zero (<em>m</em> = 0) is y = <em>b, </em>for which the y-intercept is (0, <em>b</em>). <u>Perpendicular lines</u> comprise of the intersection of two lines forming 90° angles.  

Since we are given the equation of a horizontal line, then we can assume that <em>the line that intersects a horizontal line must be a </em><u><em>vertical line</em></u> in order to form perpendicular lines.

The linear equation of a <u>vertical line</u> with an undefined slope is <em>x</em> = <em>a</em>, for which the x-intercept is (<em>a</em>, 0). Vertical lines have an <u>undefined slope </u>because these lines do not have any horizontal change. Thus, when you try to solve for its slope, the denominator will have a difference of 0, making the mathematical operation undefined.

We can use the <u>x-coordinate</u> of the given point, (-2, 9), to formulate an equation for a vertical line: x = -2.

Therefore, the equation of the line that goes through y = 6 is x = -2.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph of both equations, y = 6 and x = -2, showing that their intersection form 90° angles, making them perpendicular lines.

How to solve 7 2/6 + 8 5/6
natima [27]
Separate them first.
7+8=15
5/6+2/6=7/6
There can't be 7/6, so it becomes 1 and 1/6,
15+1+1/6=16 1/6
The answer is 16 1/6.

The temperature of the sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Use scientific notation to express the temperature.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know million has 6 zeros.

So, 1 million would be written as:

1,000,000

Similarly, 27 million would be written as:

27,000,000

We know writing a number in scientific notation would make this a decimal in 1 decimal place, so we would select "2.7" as the base of the scientific number.

Now, how many places to the right do we need to go (in 2.7) to make it 27,000,000?

Counting, we see:  7 places

So, power of 10 would be "7", thus we can write:

2.7*10^7

Answer choice A is right

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. solve for x
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

67 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So...

23 + x + 90 = 180

113 + x = 180

x = 67 degrees
