Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that goes through the point (-9,4) and is perpendicular to line Y=-3x-2

Mathematics

Leto [7]3 years ago

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line y = -3x - 2 would have to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line:

or, in other words,

the negative reciprocal of -3.  That would be +1/3.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we have:

y = mx + b.  

We substitute the coordinates of the given point, (-9,4), and the slope +1/3:

4 = (1/3)(-9) + b.

This simplifies to

4 = -3 + b, from which it can be easily seen that b = 7.

The desired line is y = (1/3)x + 7.

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
Elanso [62]

She is standing in front of a wall which is 10 feet away when she kicks the ball and it hits the wall and comes back to her by the virtue of Newton's third Law of motion! She kicks the ball into the air vertically above her and the ball rises to 10 feet and then comes back to her by the virtue of gravity!

Elsa uses exactly 60 cubes of ice to build a rectangular ice prism. Each cube has side lengths of 1 unit. Enter the dimensions o
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2, 5, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by V=l\cdot w\cdot h, where all variables to the right are dimensions of the prism.

Therefore, we're looking for three numbers that multiply to be 60.

Since the question stipulates that no side length may be 10, we have:

2\cdot 5\cdot 6=60

In a factory, the chance that a certain machine works without overheating in the morning is 50%. If it runs smoothly all morning
sammy [17]
Let's imagine that we turn the machine on 100 times. (this will make the percent conversion easier)

the chance that works in the morning is 50%  of 100 so it will work 50 times.

the chance that it will then continue for the rest of the day is 15% so 15%*50 (the number of times it worked), which is 7.5 times.

our times actually represented percent, so the answer is : 7.5%!
