Question

what is the slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16

Answer 1

what's the slope of x-y=16?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

well, solve for "y", what do you get?

Answer 4

solve for y to get

x-y=16

-y=16 - x

-1*(-y)=-1*(16 - x)

y = -16 + x

y = x - 16

what is the slope of this line?

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

correct, the slope is 1

Answer 8

1 = 1/1

so what you do is you flip the fraction and you flip the sign to get -1/1 = -1

Answer 9

therefore, the perpendicular slope is -1

Answer 10

ok what is the slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16

Answer 11

-1, I just wrote it above

Answer 12

and all the steps are above as well

Answer 13

wrong ? sorry hold on

Answer 14

well it's -1, there must be a typo somewhere

Answer 15

what is y=-2/3x+4 in standard form

Answer 16

I'll start you off


y=-2/3x+4

3y=-2x+12 .. multiply EVERY term by the LCD 3 to clear out the fraction

I'll let you take over

Answer 17

well 3y/3 is y and -2/3 is -0.66 and 12/3 is 4

Answer 18

is that right

Answer 19

here, you add 2x to both sides to get this

3y=-2x+12

3y+2x = 12

2x + 3y = 12

Answer 20

so y=-2/3x+4 in standard form is

2x + 3y = 12

Answer 21

o thanks so much
