Answer:

k = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y -8=0

3y = -2x + 8

y = -2/3 x + 8/3

So the slope of this line is -2/3.

Therefore the slope of a line perpendicular to the above is -1 /-2/3

= 3/2.

kx - 6y = 9

6y = kx - 9

y = k/6x - 3/2

But the slope is 3/2,

So k/6 = 3/2

2k = 18

k = 9.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

h = -5*t +800

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is 800 ft

She is falling at a rate of 5 ft per second

That would be -5ft/s

We can write this in the form

y = mx+b

h = -5*t +800 where t is the number of seconds and h is the height above ground

Answer:

We call the denominator rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2 \cdot \sqrt2} = \frac{\sqrt2}{2}$

It's clear that the denominator is now a rational number, not an irrational one anymore.
