Step 1

Given;

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{8}x-9 \\ with\text{ points \lparen1,-6\rparen} \end{gathered}

Required; Find the equation of a line that goes through the point ( 1,- 6 ) and is perpendicular to the line: y = (1 / 8)x - 9

Step 2

For perpendicular lines, the relationship between the slopes is;

m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{1}{8} \\ \frac{1}{8}=-\frac{1}{m_2} \\ m_2=-8 \end{gathered}

The y-intercept is found thus;

\begin{gathered} y=-8x+b \\ b=y-intercept \\ y=-6 \\ x=1 \\ -6=-8(1)+b \\ b=-6+8=2 \end{gathered}

Answer; The required equation will be;

y=-8x+2

Solve for x,<br> m-3x=2x+p
just olya [345]
<span>m-3x=2x+p
m-x=p (- 2x on both sides)
-x=p-m (- m on both sides)
answer: x=-p+m (divide -1 on both side)

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

there is only blue marbles, yellow marbles, and red marbles. there are no purple marbles so you’d be unable to pull out a purple one no matter how many times you tried. so the probability would be 0
