Answer:

slope = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{3}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} }$ = - 3

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x$

Finding Derivatives Implicity In Exercise, find dy/dx implicity.<br> x2 - 3 ln y + y2 = 10

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$x^2-3lny+y^2=0$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$2x-\frac{3}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0$

By using formula

$\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$\frac{d(lnx)}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{dy^n}{dx}=ny^{n-1}\frac{dy}{dx}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}(-\frac{3}{y}+2y)+2x=0$

$\frac{dy}{dx}(-\frac{3}{y}+2y)=-2x$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2x}{-\frac{3}{y}+2y}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$

Hence, the derivative of function

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$

Hi i need help below thank you 32 POINTS

lara [203]

A = (pi) * r*2
(pi) = 3.14
r = d/2.....r = 17/2 or 8.5

A = 3.14 * 8.5^2
A = 3.14 * 72.25
A = 226.86 rounds to 226.9 m^2 <==

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

0.12 is 12 percent.

We also have the 0.06 percent which would just be 6 percent

We need to add up those percentages to get 18 percent, for the people surveyed that cannot swim would be 18 percent.

Our final answer is D.
