What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21

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

Need help finding the value of x and y
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The values of x = 12 and y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure ,

ΔMTW≅ΔBGK

That is, these two triangles are congruent.

If two triangles are congruent , all the corresponding angles and corresponding sides are equal.

Congruency is different from similarity . Similarity means two triangles which are the same with different dimensions.

Therefore , ∠MTW = ∠BGK

                     (4x - 3)° = 45°

                       4x = 48°

                         x = 12

Since ∠MTW = 45° ,

∠TMW = 180 - (41 +45)

              = 180 - 86

              =94°

From congruency ,

∠TMW = ∠GBK

94° = 11y + 6

11y = 88°

y = 8

If a bag contains 12 quarters, 6 dimes, and 18 nickles, what is the part-to-whole ratio of nickles to all coins?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

18/36 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 18 nickels, which is the numerator.

You add all the numbers together to get the denominator, which is 12+6+18=36.

Then, you put the two values in a fraction - 18/36

and simplify, to get you 1/2.
