What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and has an x-intercept of -3?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

y=-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the perpendicular line is,

y = mx + b

where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph, slope of the line passing through (0, -1) and (3, 1),

m' = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m' = \frac{1+1}{3-0}

m' = \frac{2}{3}

To get the slope (m) of this line we will use the property of perpendicular lines,

m × m' = (-1)

m × \frac{2}{3} = -1

m = -\frac{3}{2}

Equation of the perpendicular line will be,

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+b

x-intercept of the line is (-3) therefore, point on the line is (-3, 0)

0 = -\frac{3}{2}(-3)+b

b = -\frac{9}{2}=-4.5

Equation of the line will be,

y=-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}

Rueben has scored 81 , 89 , 90 , 83 , and 77 on his previous five tests. what score does he need on his next test so that his av
lawyer [7]
Let x = the next score

If    (81 + 89 + 90 + 83 + 77 + x)  ÷  6 = 82

  ⇒  420 + x = (82 × 6)

  ⇒  x = 492 - 420
     
       x = 72

Thus to get an 82 average he need to get 72 on his next test.

Please Help Meeeee!!! Will Mark Brainliest!!!
love history [14]

Answer:

Part A: Yes. For every 10 employees, an increase of 80 products produced.

Part B: y = 8x + 120

Part C: Y-intercept indicates the number of products produced when there are 0 employees. The slope indicates the rate of increase of production with the number of employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 80 - 0 = 80 employees; 760 - 120 = 640 products. Therefore, 640/80 = 8 products per employee <u>or</u> 80 products per 10 employees

Part B: For y = mx + c ,

m = (Y1 - Y0)/(X1 - X0) = (760 - 120)/(80 - 0) = 8

c = Y-intercept, when X = 0. Therefore c = 120

Solve the following system of equations: x - 2y = 14 x + 3y = 9
Margarita [4]
Solve your system of equations step by step.

x−2y=14;x+3y=9

Solve x−2y=14 for x:

x−2y+2y=14+2y (Add 2y to both sides)

x=2y+14

Substitute (2y+14) for x in x+3y=9:

x+3y=9

2y+14+3y=9

5y+14=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

5y+14+−14=9+−14 (Add -14 to both sides)

5y=−5

5y5=−55 (Divide both sides by 5)

y=−1

Substitute (−1) for y in x=2y+14:

x=2y+14

x=(2)(−1)+14

x=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)



So,

y=-1
x=12

Answer is C)
