Find an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 4) and is perpendicular to the line 4x + 9y - 2 = 0 (let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.

y = 9/4x -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 9y -2=0

solve for y: 4x-2=-9y

(4x-2)/-9 =  

y =4/-9x-2/9

perpendicular means reciprocal of slope. So 4/-9 changesz to 9/4

For the point plug in y and x:

9/4*2+b=4

b = -0.5

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
