Answer:

y = - 3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - 3y = 5 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

- 3y = - x + 5 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{5}{3}  ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } = - 3

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6) ⇒ c = 6

y = - 3x + 6 ← equation of perpendicular line

A cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart. Which equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the p
ozzi

Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:

= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

= 5 × $3

= $15

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form a proportion;

24                    x

____    =      _____ ,

 9                   2.25

24(2.25) = 9x,

54 = 9x,

x = height of soldier = 6 feet

A cone has a diamete of 3 inches the cone hold 12 cubic inches of water to the nearet inch what is the height of the cone
Andre45 [30]

Volume for a cone is 1/3 pi * r^2*h, where r is radius and h is height. We have diameter = 1/2 radius. Thus, radius = 1.5in. We also have volume is 12 in. Using formula for volume of a cone and plugging in what we know, we have 12 = 1/3*pi*(1.5)^2*h, were solving for h. To get, h= (12*3)/(pi*(1.5)^2), which is approximately 5.0931in, 5 inches
