Answer 1

its A

Answer 2

yes! .... wt's ur question then ? u already know the answer.....XD

Answer 3

lol aye can you help me with a question?

Answer 4

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 1) and is perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5

Answer 5

First turn 3x-2y = 5 into standard form (y = mx +b). Then, since you know that a line perpendicular to another line has the negative reciprocal slope of the original line, you know the 2nd line's slope (m). Then you plug in x and y into that 2nd line equation and solve for b (the y-intercept). Once you have be, you go back to your 2nd line equation and plug in b, and bam, you have your equation of the perpendicular line. :) Try this!

Answer 6

be = b

Answer 7

(was a typo)

Answer 8

y=3/2x+4 right?

Answer 9

when 2 lines become perpendicular to each other ,
if the slope of one line is "m" , then the slope of the other is "(-1/m)"
lets take
3x – 2y = 5 as the first one
y = (3/2)x - 5/2
the slope of this one is
3/2
then the slope of the other one will be
-2/3

so the equation of the other line will be
y = mx + b
= (-2/3)x + b

now let's consider the coordinates pair (-2 , 1)
and substitute those value in our eqation
1 = (-2/3)-2 + b
b = 1- 4/3
= -1/3

therefor the equation will be
y= (-2/3)x - 1/3

hope this will help ya!
