A student given the line y=2/3x-1 and the point(-7,.5) and asked to find an equation that went through the given point and was perpendicular to the given line. The students answer was y=3/2x+11. Explain what the student did incorrectly then give the correct answer.

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )

yx = 36

step-by-step explanation:

cos f = opposite side/ hypotenuse

cos f = yw / yx

we know cos f = 4/9 and yw =16

4/9 = 16/yx

multiply each side by yx

4/9 yx = 16/ yx * yx

4/9 yx = 16

multiply each side by 9/4

9/4 * 4/9 yx = 16 *9/4

yx = 36

the correct answer would be c
