The equation of the line is y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}

Explanation:

The given equation is y=3 x-2

<u>Slope:</u>

Since, the equation of the line is perpendicular to the equation y=3 x-2, then, the slope is given by

m=-\frac{1}{3}

Hence, the slope is m=-\frac{1}{3}

<u>Equation of the line:</u>

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substituting the point (-2,3) and the slope m=-\frac{1}{3}, in the above formula, we get,

y-3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+2)

Simplifying, we get,

y-3=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}

     y=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}+3

     y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}

Solve the equation. x + 2.6 = 3.5<br>    x = –0.9 <br>   x = –6.1 <br>   x = 6.1<br>    x = 0
denpristay [2]

x + 2.6 = 3.5\\ \\ x=3.5-2.6\\ \\ x=0.9

There may be an error with the first answer choice because it can't have a negative. The problem is x + 2.6 = 3.5 correct?

Hope this helps!
