Answer:

Slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is 3 and we have to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

We know that the slope of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

In other words if the slope of the line is m then then slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{m}

The reciprocal of 3 is \frac{1}{3}

Hence, negative reciprocal of 3 is -\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

C is the correct option.

Adam is an opera singer. Below are the number of times that his voice cracked during each of six concerts
Gre4nikov [31]

In this picture dots are clearly shown the frequency of the concert.

<h3>What is Frequency?</h3><h3>Frequency refers to the number of times an event or a value occurs. A frequency table is a table that lists items and shows the number of times the items occur.</h3>

Here, in given data about the six concerts

Concerts              Frequency

    0                              2

    1                               2

    2                              1

    3                              1

Thus, on number line we mark 2 dots on zero, 2 dots on one, 1 dot on two and 1 dot on 3.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the y- coordinate 15 into the equation , that is

15 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

3 = x

This is the x- coordinate of the point , so b = 3
