How to make a linear equation perpendicular?

1 answer:

algol [13]4 years ago

The slopes of 2 perpendicular lines with be reciprocals with the opposite sign.
For example if you have the equation y=-5x+2, your slope is -5. In a line perpendicular to y=-5x+2, your slope would be 1/5. As for finding b in y=mx+b for your second equation, I would need more specific information.

Hope it helps!

Solve for the indicated variable in the literal equation

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 5 + 3x$

Required

Solve for x

Subtract 5 from both sides

$y-5 = 5 -5+ 3x$

$y-5 = 3x$

Divide through by 3

$\frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = x$

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

The mean is 10.
To find the mean you add up all the numbers and divide by how many sets of numbers there were.
8+10+11+8+13=50
50/5=10.

The price of a gallon of unleaded gas has dropped to 2.84 today. Yesterday's price was 2.89. Find the percentage decrease. Round

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Answer: 2.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = initial price - final price

% decrease = [ (initial price - final price) / initial price ] *100

% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 = 2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1
