Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the line in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

x-y = 6

subtract x from each side

-y = -x+6

Multiply each side by -1

y = x-6

The slope is 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 1 = -1

m = -1

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

c. 273 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find what 16% of 325 is

325x.16=52

because the number sold dropped by 16% you will subtract 52 from 325

325-52=273

you can also calculate the answer by subtracting 100% by 16%

100%-16%=84%

now you can calculate 84% of 325

325x.84=273

Elza [17]

Answer:

True

Calvin had 30 minutes in time-out. For the first 23 1/3 minutes, Calvin counted spots on the ceiling. For the rest of the time,

scoundrel [369]

Answer: $\frac{20}{3}\ minutes$ or $6 \frac{2}{3}\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction (This will be the new numerator).

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

$23\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(23*3)+1}{3}= \frac{70}{3}\ minutes$

You know that he had 30 minutes in time-out, he counted spots on the ceiling for $\frac{70}{3}$ minutes and the rest of the time he made faces at his stuffed tiger.

Then, in order to calculate the time Calvin spent making faces at his stuffed tiger, you need to subract 30 minutes and $\frac{70}{3}$ minutes:

$30\ min-\frac{70}{3}=(\frac{3(30)-70}{3})=\frac{20}{3}\ minutes$ or $6 \frac{2}{3}\ minutes$
