Y=mx +c
5=(1/3)-6 +c
5=-2 +c
5+2=c
7

Hence the equation is y=1/3x +7

hope this helps! Dont forget to put it as the brainliest answer to help me out too xD

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line equation, let us take two points

(0, 2)

(4, 1)

Finding the slope between two points

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)$

$m=\frac{1-2}{4-0}$

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

$-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4}}=4$

Thus, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.

1. Ramesh ordered 10 cartons of chocolates to distribute among the class. Each carton holds 20 boxes and each box has 12 chocola

Pie

Answer:

1 box has 12 chocolates

thus 20 boxes have ( 20 * 12) = 240 chocolates

1 carton has 240 chocolates (20box)

10 cartons have 240 * 10 = 2400 chocolates

4/9 divided by what equals 12

NeX [460]

(4/9)/x = 12
(4/9) = 12x
Divide both sides by 12
(1/27) =x

When asked to write a point slope equation for a line passing through the points (-4,-7) and (3,2) a student wrote y-2=-9/7(x-3)

AleksAgata [21]

First let's find the slope
Slope formula:
$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =slope$
Given the two coordinates:
(-4,-7) (3,2)
x1,y1 x2,y2

Plug these numbers into the formula
$\frac{2-(-7)}{3-(-4)} = \frac{9}{7}$
In this case the mistake that was made was that the student wrote the slope negative instead of positive
Final answer:
<span>y-2=9/7(x-3)</span>
