The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. That means that when you multiply then together, you get -1.

The slopes of all the choices are easy to see because all the choices are in y = mx + b form, slope-intercept form.

If we write our equation in slope-intercept form also, then we can see its slope easily.

We solve -3x + y = 7 for y.
Add 3x to both sides to get
y = 3x + 7
The slope is 3.
We need a negative reciprocal slope to 3, so we need -1/3.

Only choice A has a slope of -1/3.

Answer: Choice A, y = -1/3x + 7

First you change it into slope intercept and get y=3x+7. To make it perpendicular you flip the slope so 3/1 becomes 1/3. Then you make it the opposite so it becomes -1/3. The answer is y=-1/3x+7

Answer:

178 ERASERS

Step-by-step explanation:

YOU NEED TO START BACKWARDS. HE BOUGHT 76 ERASERS AND HE HAS 193, SO WHATEVER HE HAD AT THE END OF TUESDAY+76 IS HOW MUCH HE HAS ON WEDNESDAY. 193-76=117. ON TUESDAY, HE STARTED WITH ERASERS AT END OF TUESDAY+39 ERASERS. 117+39=156. ON MONDAY, HE STARTED WITH END OF MONDAY+22 ERASERS. 156+22=178

Five less than one third of a number is two more than half of the same number. Find the number.

I am Lyosha [343]

5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)

-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n

the number is -42

the number is 18

the volume of a cylindrical tank is 936cubic meter. if its height is 6 meter determine the base area of the tank

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

156 square m

Step-by-step explanation:

$volume \: of \: cylindrical \: tank \\ = area \: of \: base \times height \\ \\ 936 = area \: of \: base \times \: 6 \\ \\ area \: of \: base = \frac{936}{6} \\ \\ area \: of \: base = 156 \: {m}^{2}$
