Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards of plaid ribbon.

She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Converting 2 5/6 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 17/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon.

The total number of yards of ribbon that Kristin has would be

11/3 + 17/6 = (22 + 17)/6 = 39/6 yards of ribbon.

Converting to decimal, it becomes 6.5 yards of ribbon. Approximating 6.5 to the nearest yards, it becomes 7 yards. This is because the first digit after the decimal point is 5 and thus, can be rounded up

State the equation of the line described.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. This means that when you multiply the slopes of the perpendicular lines, its product = -1.

Given the linear equation, y = -9x - 1, and the point, (-3, 7):

Since the slope of the given linear equation is: m1 = -9, then it means that the slope of the other line (m2) = 1/9:

m1 × m2 = -1

-9 × 1/9 = -1

Next, we need to find the y-intercept of the other line. The y-intercept is the point on the line where it crosses the y-axis, and has coordinates (0, <em>b</em>). It is also the value of the y-coordinate when its corresponding x-coordinate = 0.

Using the given point, (-3, 7), and the slope of the other line, m2 = 1/9:

We need to substitute these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to solve for the y-intercept, (b):

y = mx + b

7 = 1/9(-3) + b

7 =   -1/3 + b

Add 1/3 to both sides of the equation to solve for b:

7 + 1/3  = 1/3 -1/3 + b

22/3 = b

Therefore, the y-intercept (b) = 22/3.

The linear equation of the other line is: y = 1/9x + 22/3
