Let's first solve <span>7x+y=4 for y

Subtract 7x from both sides to accomplish this

</span><span>7x+y=4
</span><span>7x+y-7x=4-7x
y = -7x+4

This equation has a slope of -7. This is the same as -7/1

Flip the fraction to get -1/7 and then flip the sign from negative to positive to get +1/7 = 1/7

The slope of this unknown perpendicular line is going to be m = 1/7

We now use the point (3,7) to figure out the value of b

y = mx + b
y = (1/7)*x + b ... plug in the value of m found earlier
7 = (1/7)*3 + b ... plug in the given point; solve for b
7 = (3/7) + b
7-(3/7) = b
49/7 - 3/7 = b
b = 46/7

So the answer in y = mx+b form is
y = (1/7)x + 46/7
where
m = 1/7 is the slope
b = 46/7 is the y intercept</span>

What is the volume of the prism
Alchen [17]
The volume of the prism is the second option, 1/3 cubic inch. You can find this by first finding the volume of the cube, which is 1/216 because you would need to do 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6.
Then you need to find the volume of the prism in terms of the cubes, so you would do 12 × 3 × 2 = 72.
Then, you simply multiply 72 by 1/216, which is 72/216, which simplifies down to 1/3.
I hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP !! ASAP !
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Equation: m∠K + 40° + 60° = 180°

    [Since, these angles are located at a point of a straight line so they are   supplementary angles]

b). m∠K = 180° - 100°

    m∠K = 80°

c). Equation: m∠M + m∠K = 180°

   [Since, ∠M and ∠K are the supplementary angles]

d). m∠M + 80° = 180°

    m∠M = 180 - 80

              = 100°

it takes four trips around the track to make a mile Jack paddled his bike around the track 24 times it took him 30 minutes how m
miss Akunina [59]
He went around 24 times and 4 times is a mile so 24/4 will tell us how many miles he biked. He biked 6 miles in thirty minutes. The formula distance = rate(time) will tell you how fast he is going.

6 = r(1/2)    divide each side by 1/2 (The time has to be in hours)
12 = r 
So he was going 12 miles an hour.

Solve using the substitution method.<br><br><br><br> x + 2y = 9<br><br> x + 3y = 13
Rasek [7]

x + 2y = 9

x + 3y = 13

____________________________________________________________

Solve for x in the first equation. Subtract 2y from both sides.

x = 9 - 2y

____________________________________________________________

Plug x into the second equation.

(9 - 2y) + 3y = 13

Combine like terms.

9 + y = 13

Subtract 9 from both sides.

y = 4

____________________________________________________________

Plug y back into the first equation.

x + 2(4) = 9

x + 8 = 9

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x = 1

____________________________________________________________

x = 1

y = 4
