The origin is at the point (0,0). Therefore, the y-intercept will be 0. For two points to be perpendicular, the slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other. .5 can be seen as 1/2, so the reciprocal is 2, and it is positive, making that 2 negative. Your equation would be y = -2x.
Hey, I just wanted to inform you that the ages of the 9 retired employees are not listed anywhere. Hope this can be resolved.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2
2. 3
3. 6
4. 2
5. 4
3 ( 3x + 6 + x ) = 1
Step 1, apply distributive method.
9x + 18 + 3x = 1
Step 2, simplify the following
12x + 18 = 1
Step 3, Change side
12x = -17
Final answer
x = -17/12
<em>The </em><u><em>error/mistake was in step 2</em></u><em> where [ 9x +3x = 12x ]</em>
<em />
<u><em>Recheck the answer</em></u>
3 ( 3x + 6 + x ) = 1
3 ( 3(-17/12) + 6 + -17/12 ) = 1
1 = 1
Hence proved our solution is correct.
The answer would be whole numbers
