Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the liney=-1x/ 3 + 2 and goes through the point (5, 6)

Answer:

y = 3x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/3 x +2

The slope is -1/3

We want a line perpendicular to it

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

The new slope is -(-3/1) = 3

We have a slope  m=3 and a point (5,6)

We will use point slope form to find the line

y-y-1 = m(x-x1)

y-6 = 3(x-5)

In slope intercept form

Distribute

y-6 = 3x-15

Add 6 to each side

y-6+6 = 3x-15+6

y = 3x-9

Answer: (1, 4)


Explanation: When using the method of elimination, the goal is to eliminate a variable by either adding or subtracting the 2 equations. For this question, you can choose either to eliminate X or Y. I’ll eliminate X as an example:

In order to eliminate a variable, the same variable in both equations must have the same coefficient.

(1) 3x+y=7
(2) 2x+5y=22

Multiply (1) by 2:

(3) 6x+2y=14

Multiply (2) by 3:

(4) 6x+15y=66

Now that X in both equations has the same coefficient of 6, you can subtract the two equations to officially eliminate the variable and solve for Y:

Subtract (4) from (3):

-13y=-52
y=4

Now that you have the value of Y, substitute that into either one of the equations to get X. I’ll use the first equation as an example:

3x+(4)=7
3x=3
x=1

Therefore, the point of intersection is (1, 4).


Hope this helps シ

If it takes 5 men 20hours to brick a house, how long will it take 2 men to do the job if they work at the same rate?
Elden [556K]

To find the contribution of each man (this is a sexist problem as women could work as well, but that’s besides the point) take 5/2 and then multiply that value by 20 and you’ll find it takes 50 hours for two men to do it.

Answer: 50 hours

44 ÷ 1100<br> pls show your work thx
mestny [16]

Answer:

25 is the answer

for proof see the pic

<em>first divide it by 11 then and when you get the numerator as 100 and denominator as 4 divide it by 2</em>

So as to get numerator as 50 and denominator as 2 .

<em>L</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>D</em><em>i</em><em>v</em><em>i</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>s</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>;</em><em>)</em>
