algebra 2 help !!!!!!!!!!!!?

1.What does the graph of y=-2/3x+5 look like?

Its y-intercept is at (0, 5) and its slope is down 2 and to the right 3.

Its y-intercept is at (5, 0) and its slope is down 2 and to the right 3.

Its y-intercept is at (0, 5) and its slope is up 2 and to the right 3.

Its y-intercept is at (5, 0) and its slope is up 2 and to the left 3.

2. Write the equation -4x + 5y = 7 in slope-intercept form.

3. Solve 2x2 - 3x + 5 = 0 by using the quadratic formula.

4. Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,5) and (6,2).

5. Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 2x - 3y = 6 and passes through the point (1,2).

thanks to all who answers and 10 points WILL be given to best answer

    1.

    +5 is the y intercept, and -2/3 is the slope, and as it's negative it will be "down"

    => Its y-intercept is at (0, 5) and its slope is down 2 and to the right 3.

    2.

    -4x + 5y = 7

    => 5y = 7 + 4x

    => y = (1/5)(4x + 7)

    => y = (4/5)x + (7/5)

    3.

    2x^2 - 3x + 5 = 0

    The formula states that:

    x = [ -b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

    In your case, a = 2, b = -3 and c = 5

    => x = [ -(-3) +/- √((-3)^2 - 4(2)(5)) ] / 2(2)

    => x = [ 3 +/- √(9 - 40)] / 4

    => x = [ 3 +/- √-31 ] / 4

    => x = [ 3 + i√31 ] / 4 or x = [ 3 - i√31 ] / 4

    4.

    gradient = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) = (5 - 2) / (2 - 6) = 3 / -4 = -3/4

    thus y = (-3/4)x + c

    Where x = 2, y = 5, so 5 = (-3/4)(2) + c

    => 5 = -3/2 + c

    => c = 5 + 3/2 = 13/2

    So the equation of this line is y = (-3/4)x + (13/2)

    5.

    Perpendicular lines have reciprocal gradients

    2x - 3y = 6

    => -3y = 6 - 2x

    => y = (1/-3)(6 - 2x)

    => y = -2 + (2/3)x

    So the gradient of the perpendicular will be 1/(2/3) = 3/2

    y = (3/2)x + c where x=1 and y=2

    => 2 = (3/2)(1) + c

    => c = 2 - (3/2) = (1/2)

    So the equation of the perpendicular is y = (3/2)x + (1/2)
