well, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so hmmm wait a second, what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

\bf 9x+3y=15\implies 3y=-9x+15\implies y=\cfrac{-9x+15}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{-9x}{3}+\cfrac{15}{3} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-3}x+5\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-3\implies -\cfrac{3}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so then, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (-3,3)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}] \\\\\\ y-3=\cfrac{1}{3}(x+3)\implies y-3=\cfrac{1}{3}+1\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+4

Answer:

-x + 3y = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

OK. First we need to find the slope of 9x + 3y = 15.

3y = -9x + 15

y = -3x + 5

So it's slope = -3.

Now the slope of the line perpendicular to it is  - 1 / -3 = 1/3.

Now we use the general form point-slope to find the required equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here x1 = - 3,  y1 = 3 and m = 1/3:

y - 3 = 1/3(x - -3)

y - 3 =  1`/3(x + 3)

Multiply through by 3:

3y - 9 = x + 3

-x + 3y = 12.

What is the value of 5 in 756? write and draw to explain how you know
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The value of 5 is 10 because it is in the tens place. If you draw a place value chart it shows that 5 is in the tens place. You could also draw it with 5 blocks with ten cubes.

Happy studying ^_^

Please show ALL work!<br><br> Solve for x: log₂x+log₂(x-6)=4
Vlad [161]
Answer: x = 8

---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

I'm going to use the notation log(2,x) to indicate "log base 2 of x". The first number is the base while the second is the expression inside the log (aka the argument of the log)

log(2,x) + log(2,(x-6)) = 4
log(2,x*(x-6)) = 4
x*(x-6) = 2^4
x*(x-6) = 16
x^2-6x = 16
x^2-6x-16 = 0
(x-8)(x+2) = 0
x-8 = 0 or x+2 = 0
x = 8 or x = -2

Recall that the domain of log(x) is x > 0. So x = -2 is not allowed. The same applies to log(2,x) as well.

Only x = 8 is a proper solution.

------------------------

You can use the change of base rule to check your work
log base 2 of x = log(2,x) = log(x)/log(2)
log(2,(x-6)) = log(x-6)/log(2)

So,
(log(x)/log(2)) + (log(x-6)/log(2)) = 4
(log(8)/log(2)) + (log(8-6)/log(2)) = 4
(log(8)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
(log(2^3)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
(3*log(2)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
3+1 = 4
4 = 4
The answer is confirmed
