What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 3) and is perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=15? Select a number to correctly complete the equation X = Y =

A) -2/3
B) -3/2
C) 2/3
D) 3/2
E) 7/3
F) 9/2
G) 11/3

X = __3/2__ Y = __3/2__

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 15

3y = -2x + 15

y = (-2/3)x + 5

perpendicular lines have negative reciprocals

y = (3/2)x + b

3 = (3/2)1 + b

b = 3/2

exa:

)

3+11

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.

the area of the rectangle is 35units^2.

step-by-step explanation:

graph it and find the distance.

it is a 5*7 rectangle.

therefore the area is 35units^2.
