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.

A stick 7 inches long is broken into two pieces, so that one piece is twice as long as the other one. How long are the two piece
marshall27 [118]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

7/3 and 14/3 inches

Discussion:

Let P1 = "Piece 1" and "P2 = Piece 2", Then P2 = 2 * P1 and

P1 + P2 = 7       => as P2 = 2 P1

P1 + 2P1 = 7      =>

3P1 = 7             => divide both sides by 7

P1 = 7/3


Then P2 = 2 P1 - 2* (7/3) = 14/3

Thank you,

MrB
