Using point slope form determine the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+4 and passes through point (6,-3)

1 answer:

8 0

I'm not gonna use point-slope form but I will tell you the equation in slope-intersect form. Perpendicular means that the slopes of the 2 equations have to be opposite reciprocals. That means if one is 2, the other slope has to be -1/2. Since the slope is 3, the slope of the equation you are making is -1/3. using desmos.com, I found out that the y-intercept has to be -1, so the equation is y=-1/3x-1

Solve for x 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve for the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

we will first of all open the brackets and then evaluate for the value of x by combining the like terms.

from 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

6x -12 = 8x -72

combine the like terms

6x - 12 + 72 = 8x

-12 + 72 = 8x -6x

60 = 2x

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 2

60/2 = 2x/2

30 = x

x = 30

therefore the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 ) is equals to 30

Which of the three following graphs display the same data? i. a bar graph titled county voter turnout (thousands) has year on th

ivann1987 [24]

The graphs that display the same data are a. I and II

<h3>What is Data Representation?</h3>

This refers to the different ways in which a set of data are displayed in a certain place such as a bar graph, frequency table, line graph, etc.

Hence, we can see that from the evaluation of the data, there is the use of the same data in I and II as the bar and line graphs contain the same country voter turnout.
