Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y =3x-2 and that passes through the point(-9,5)

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.

(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)

So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3

The equation is now y = -1/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation

y = -1/3x + b

5 = -1/3(9) + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

So the equation is y = -1/3x + b

How much did it cost summer to to buy 2.6 pounds of granola at the old price
coldgirl [10]
It was $6.00 per pound.  So 2 pounds would be $12.  But there is still that .6 of a pound left.  If we know 1 pound costs $6, then we know 1/10th of a pound will cost $0.60.  So 6 x .60 = 3.60.  Add 12 and 3.60, and you get 15.60 for 2.6 pounds of granola at the old price.

HELP! last one of the day!
quester [9]
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.

PLEASE HELP! I NEED ASAP!!!!<br><br> Explain how to construct a perpendicular bisector
Anna007 [38]
So the first step is to have a line segment.
Put your compass on one of the points and extend the compass to be slightly more than half. Just a bit over half.

Mark a small curvy line above your segment and on the bottom at that length. 

Now pick up the compass, don't change the length of extension, and put it on the other point of your segment. 

Mark above and below your segment like before so it can intersect.

draw a line through the two intersections.

I hope I answered your question.

Lena [83]

Answer: 0.1974

Step-by-step explanation:

z1 = (12.9 - 16.3)/2 = (-3.4)/2 = -1.7

Z2 = (14.9 - 16.3)/2 = (-1.4/2) = -0.7

“Z table”

Z1= -1.7 ~ 0.0446

Z2 = -0.7 ~ 0.242

0.2420 - 0.0446= 0.1974
