The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:

y = 3*x - 6

<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>

A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.

Rewriting the given line we can get:

x +3y = 21

3y = 21 - x

y = 21/3 - x/3

y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3

Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:

m*(-1/3) = -1

m = 3

our line is:

y = 3*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)

-3 = 3*1 + b

-3 - 3 = b

-6 = b

The line is y = 3*x - 6

This set of points is on the graph of a function.
Liula [17]

If (a, b) is on the graph of a function f(x), then (b, a) is on the graph of the inverse.

We have points on the graph of a function: {(-3, 9), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (2, 4)}.

The points on the graph of the inverse: {(9, -3), (1, -1), (0, 0), (4, 2)}.

<h3>Answer: (4, 2), (0, 0), (1, -1).</h3>

A square has an area of 64 square units. A cube has a volume of 64 cubic units. What is the difference in the side length of the
Rina8888 [55]
The formula in solving the area of a square is Area = a² where "a" is for the length of the side. The area formula in solving a cube is Area = 6a² where "a" is for the length of its side.
Area of square = a²
64 = a²
a = 8 units

Area of cube = 6a²
64= 6a²
a = 3.27 units 

The difference of side of the square and side of the cube is shown below:
Difference = 8 - 3.27
Difference = 4.73 units.

The answer is 4.73 units.
