Answer from: Tonilynnpinto63

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

With perpendicular lines, the slope switches to its reciprocal and and positive/negative sign switches, i.e, the 2/3 will switch to 3/2 and since the original is positive, the new slope will be negative

Answer from: valeriegarcia12

Slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line that is perpendicular to the line should have a slope that is a negative reciprocal of this slope and multiplying both slopes give us -1

=> The slope of this line is 2/3

=> The slope of line perpendicular to it would be -3/2

Multiplying the two slopes:

=> (2/3)*(-3/2)

=> -1

Answer from: Quest

the system of inequity is

$y\leq -x+4$

$3y> x$

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

$y-4=\frac{0-4}{4-0}(x-0)$

$y=-x+4$

the related equation of solid line is $y=-x+4$ .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

$y-0=\frac{0-1}{3-0}(x-0)$

$3y=x$

the related equation of dashed line is $3y=x$

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

$1=-0+4$

$1=4$

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be $\leq$ . the required inequality is

$y\leq -x+4$

similarly, check the second related equation.

$3(1)=0$

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is

$3y> x$

Answer from: Quest

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

$m=y/x=1/3$

the equation of the dashed line is

$y=(1/3)x$

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

$y> (1/3)x$

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

$m=(4-0)/(0-4)=-1$

the equation of the solid line is

$y=-x+4$

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

$y\leq-x+4$

step 3

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$
