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

Dimitri is helping to plan the school talent show. Each performer for the talent show has 666 minutes for his or her performance
strojnjashka [21]

We can find the answer by taking the total count of time, 150, and subtract 24 from it. This is because the 24 minute introduction is not part of the performances, so it is not part of our equation.  After we subtract the two numbers to get 126, we divide the remaining number by 6. This is because each performance lasts 6 minutes, so by dividing it from 126, we get the total amount of performances. The answer is 21.

Hope this helps!
