Answer:

I'm kind of confused what the question is asking. If they are asking for an expression to represent JL then the answer is 14x -32. If they want to know the distance between J and L then the answer is 66

Step-by-step explanation:

First I set the 2 equations equal to each other (5x-2 = 9x -30) and solved this to get x =7. (ANSWER ONE)

Next I plugged 7 into one of the equations (in this case either one will work bc JK and KL are the same distance. so I plugged 7 into the first one ( 5(7) -2 ) and I got 33. This means the distance of JK (and KL since they are equal) is 33.

Next I multiplied 33 by 2 since JL is JK and KL combined ( JK and KL are both 33 and therefore adding them together (multiplying 33×2) will give you the length of JL) and I got 66 (ANSWER 2)

Sorry if this is super confusing

Create the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2y=14+(2/3) x and passes through the point (-2,8).

Answer:

y = -3x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the equation for the given line by 2, it will be in slope-intercept form:

y = (1/3)x +7

This tells you its slope is 1/3. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of this: -1/(1/3) = -3. The point-slope form of the equation for the perpendicular line can be written as ...

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your line is ...

y = -3(x -(-2)) +8

y = -3x +2
