Answer 4

D

Answer 5

@blondie16

Answer 6

first solve that equation for y and tell me what you get

Answer 7

thts the thing i dont know how to do it

Answer 8

2x + 3y = 5 first you would sutract the 2x
-2x -2x
3y=-2x+5 then you would divide by 3
_______
3 3 3 so it would =
y=-2/3x+5/3

Answer 9

i get it thx i luv u (u know wat i mean)

Answer 10

lol but your not done with the question! do you get the rest?

Answer 11

the rest are awnsers like abcd u know

Answer 12

but your not finished with the questions you have to find the perpendicular slope to the slope you got. and you have to put it through the point (9,-3)

Answer 13

ohhh

Answer 14

so i have to plug them it in right

Answer 15

lol yep :P to find the perpendicular slope you have to find the opposite reciprocal do you know how to do that?

Answer 16

and no dont plug them in

Answer 17

ohh thn how?

Answer 18

well we found out that the slope of that line was -2/3 right? so the 'opposite' of that would be positive and the reciprocal would be 3/2 so that is the new slope: 3/2(m). now for the new point. (9(x1),-3(y1)), plug it in to the equation : y-y1=m(x-x1) the 9 goes into the x1 spot and the -3 goes into the y1 spot. dont forget, the y1 is a negative 3 and in the equation, it subtracts it so the 3 would become positive.

Answer 19

ohh isn tht point slope form

Answer 20

yesh it is :)

Answer 21

i get it thx

Answer 22

yay :D your welcome glad i could help reaper :P

Answer 23

:D

Answer 24

swear i learn more here then on my school

Answer 25

oops! i read perpendicular :O it is parallel :( so it would still be -2/3 sorry i misread that and lol

Answer 26

its ok

Answer 27

alright so if you want me to check it i will if you want haha

Answer 28

thx

Answer 29

welcome :)
