What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5xplus 10 and passes through the point (15,-5)?

Mathematics

Allisa [31]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

a general line equation is

y = ax + b

the original line is

y = 3/5 x + 10

the factor of x is always the slope (inclination of the line).

it is "y change/x change".

the slope of a perpendicular line (angle of 90°) is turning the slope of the original line upside-down and flips the sign.

so, it is -5/3.

we use the point information to get the right "b" for our new line :

-5 = -5/3 × 15 + b

-5 = -5×5 + b

-5 = -25 + b

b = 20

so, the perpendicular line equation going through (15, -5) is

y = -5/3 x + 20

Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, –) and has a slope of 3?
snow_lady [41]
We are asked in the problem to deterimne the point slope form that is y - y1  = m(x-x1),. Substituting, m = 3 and x1 = 2

Translating,

y + a = 3*(x-2). 


Ahnswer to this problem then is C.

Which has the least value for 9? *
marishachu [46]

Answer:

0.1039

Step-by-step explanation:

Obtain the place value of 9 in each value and choose the smallest :

1.95

9 is the first digit after the decimal point ; which is equal to 0.9 = tenth place

0.1039

9 is the 4th digit after the decimal point ; which is equal to 0.0009 = ten thousandth place

3.092

9 is the second digit after the decimal point ; which is equal to 0.09 = hundredth place

2.009​

9 is the third digit after the decimal point ; which is equal to 0.009 = thousandth place

Hence the smallest value of 9 among the options given resides in 0.1039 (ten thousandth place).
