Answer:

'Substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P(-3,2) in y = mx + b and then solve for b in each equation'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiana wants to write equations in the form y = mx + b for the lines passing through point P that are parallel and perpendicular to line q.

This equation is in the slope-intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, she finds the slope of line q and the slope of line s to be – 2. Point P is located at (-3,2).

Therefore, the step that can be used to find the y-intercept is 'substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P(-3,2) in y = mx + b and then solve for b in each equation'. (Answer)

What is the slope line perpendicular to the equation 4x+3y=9

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

m=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

we have the equation 4x+3y=9

subtract 4x from both sides

3y=-4x+9

divide by 3

y=-4/3x+3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1

so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1

(m is the slope value)

-4/3m=-1

multiply by -3/4

m=3/4

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4

hope this helps!! :)

The numerator of a fraction is 3 less then the denominator. If 1 is added to the numerator, the value of the fraction becomes 3/

andrew11 [14]

The fraction is $\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The denominator of fraction = x

Numerator of fraction = x-3

Fraction = $\frac{x-3}{x}$

According to given statement;

1 is added to the numerator, the value of the fraction becomes 3/4.

$\frac{x-3+1}{x}=\frac{3}{4}\\\\\frac{x-2}{x}=\frac{3}{4}$

Using cross multiplication

$4(x-2)=3*x\\4x-8=3x\\4x-3x=8\\x=8$

Fraction = $\frac{x-3}{x}=\frac{8-3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$
