Since one piece is four time the length <em>x, </em>we can represent that as 4x.

Thus making the equation:

4x+x=275

5x=275

x=55

4(55)=220

220+55=275

So, the length of the longer piece is 220 inches, and the length of the shorter piece is 55 inches.

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y-3x=-8 that passes through the point (3,2). Answer in slope-intercept form
Zielflug [23.3K]
Y - 3x = -8
y = 3x - 8...slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 3

Solve the system of equations.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

b.

( -3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 2x + 1

6x -2x = 1-13

4x = -12

x = -12/4 = -3

y = 6x + 13

y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5

(x, y) = (-3,-5)
