Please help!! Write the equation of the line passing through (2,3) and perpendicular to y = 2/3 x + 7.

y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know, when lines are perpendicular that they share the same slope. The slope in the equation of y = 2/3x + 7 is 2/3x. So, we have our slope. Now, we just need to find our b. We plug in the point that you gave us into the equation y = mx + b.

3 = 2/3(2) + b

we multiply the denominator 3 by 2, then divide that by the numerator 2.

3 = 3 + b

subtract 3 from itself and from the opposite side of the equal side 3.

0 = b

in the end, there is no b for this equation. Our answer is

y = 2/3x

answer: 80,000

step-by-step explanation:

the population doubles every day.

10,000*2=20,000 day 4

20,000*2=40,000 day 5

40,000*2=80,000 day 6

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
