Lines a and b are perpendicular. The equation of line a is y=1/3x+3. What is the equation of line b

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other is -b/a
in this case, the given slope is 1/3, so the other line's slope is -3/1, which is -3
from the graph we see that the y intercept of line b is -4, so the equation of line b is: y=-3x-4

Which equation represents the function represented by the table? 17 POINTS!!!
dybincka [34]

Answer:

  f(x) = -x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make the correct choice by seeing which equation works for the first line of the table.

  f(-1) = -(-1) -1 = 0 . . . . . the first equation works

  f(-1) = -(-1) +1 = 2 . . . not zero

  f(-1) = -1 -1 = -2 . . . not zero

  f(-1) = 1 -(-1) = 2 . . . not zero (same as second equation)

Answer:8 1/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

All you must do is multiply 2.75 (which is 2 3/4 in decimal form) by 3 since Wendy is baking a TRIPLE recipe. So, the work will look like this: 2.75x3=8.25 or 8 1/4 cups of flour.

Hey hey hey. help pls
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Emma spend 8 hours in homework in a week and Jared  spends 16 hours in homework in 2 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two quantities P and Q are said to be in PROPORTION if and only if for all values of P and q, we get:

\frac{P}{Q}  = k

Here, k : PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT

Case: 1

5 hour piano practice in 1 week.

So, the piano practice in 2 weeks( 1 x 2) =   2 x  5 = 10 hours

But here, it is given to be 12 hours in 2 weeks.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case 2:

70 words in 60 seconds.

So, the words typed in 210 seconds ( 60 x 3.5) =   70  x  3.5 = 240 words

But here, it is given to be 280 words in 210 seconds.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 3

8 hour homework in 1 week.

So, the homework done in 2 weeks( 1 x 2) =   2 x 8 = 16 hours

It is given to be 16 hours in 2 weeks.

Hence,  PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 4

15 miles  in 78 minutes.

So, the distance covered in 102 minutes (78 x 1.3) =  15 x 1.3 = 19.6 miles

But here, it is given to be 17 miles in 102 minutes.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Case: 5

18 miles  in 45 minutes.

So, the distance covered in 55 minutes (45 x 1.2) =  18 x 1.2  = 21.6 miles

But here, it is given to be 22 miles in 55 minutes.

Hence, NOT PROPORTIONAL.

Hence, the only proportional case is Emma spend 8 hours in homework in a  week and Jared  spends 16 hours in homework in 2 weeks.
