The result is a line perpendicular to y=3x-2
This line has the following equation: y =mx + b, where m = slope

Remember that the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is always = -1 (or in other term one is the reciprocal inverse of the other) so the
first slope = 3 and the sope perpendicular to 3 will be - 1/3.
Then the new equation is y = - 1/3(x) + b
How to calculate b? This line passes through (6, 8), that
means (x=6 and y=8) . Plug these values in y = -1/3 (x)+b:3
 8=(-1/3)(6) + b; 
8= - 2 + b and b = 10
Te final equation is y = - 1/3.x+10 (answer A)

A worker at a snack stand opened a new box of cups. The first day he used 30 cups , the second day the worker used 15 percent of
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first day he used 30 cups

the second day he used 15% of the remaining cups...a total of 90 cups were used on second day.

so 15%of the remaining cups = 90.....so if u let x be the total cups, then the remaining cups would be x - 30

15% of (x - 30) = 90.....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply

0.15(x - 30) = 90

0.15x - 4.5 = 90

0.15x = 90 + 4.5

0.15x = 94.5

x = 94.5 / 0.15

x = 630 total cups <==

lets check..

start with 630 cups....used 30 the first day....leaving u with 600 cups....15% of the remaining cups = 90.....so 15% of 600 = 90....lets check it

15%of 600 = 0.15(600) = 90...yep, thats correct....there were 630 cups in the new un-opened box

Brigitte is shorter than 5 feet. (Brigitte's height=h). Help please
KonstantinChe [14]

Brigitte is shorter than 5 feet. (Brigitte's height=h)

We write this in  inequality form

Brigitte's height is h

So 'h' is shorter than 5 feet

Shorter means less than so we use < symbol. We should not use = symbol because height is shorter than 5 not equal to 5.

Suppose if it is given ' height is more than 5 feet ' then we use greater than symbol (>)

h is less than 5 feet

h < 5

Inequality is h < 5
