Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know it has a point at (0, 2) - the y intercept, put those values into the equation and solve. To be perpendicular it seems the reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign, so 2/3 is the original slope, and -3/2 becomes the new slope.

y = 2/3x + 8 becomes

2 = -3/2(0) + b We substitute in the x and y values, but we have to figure out what the last number will be.

2 = 0 + b

b = 2

So put the whole equation together

y = -3/2x + 2

Complete the work to find the dimensions of the rectangle. x(x – 3) = 10 x2 – 3x = 10 x2 – 3x – 10 = 10 – 10 (x + 2)(x – 5) = 0

Answer:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length =x$

$Width = x -3$

$Area = 10$

$x(x-3) =10$

See comment for missing part of the question

Required

Complete the expression to determine the dimension of a rectangle

We have:

$x(x-3) =10$

Open bracket

$x^2 -3x = 10$

Equate to 0

$x^2 -3x - 10 =0$

Expand

$x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0$

Factor out x + 2

$(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0$

Solve for x

$x - 5 = 0$ or $x + 2 = 0$

$x = 5$ or $x = -2$

The value of x cannot be negative

So:

$x = 5$

Recall that:

$Length = x$

$Width = x - 3$

So:

$Length =5$

$Width = 2$ ---- i.e. 5 - 3

18. Two planes left an airport at the same time. One flew north at a set speed and the other

Andre45 [30]

Answer: plane A = 333.33mph

Plane B = 500mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Distance between the two planes = 2400miles.

Plane A flew North

Plane B flew south

Solution:

Let v represent plane A.

Let 2v represent plane B.

Distance between the two plane

v + 1.5* v = 3*v

7.5v = 2500miles

v = 333.33mph

Plane B has one and half times the speed of plane A

= 1.5 * 333.33

= 500mph
