Answer:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

m= -  \frac{1}{3}

subst. m= -  \frac{1}{3} into the equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

4 =  -  \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4

Thus the equation of the line is y =  -\frac{1}{3} x + 4.

zlopas [31]

Answer:  Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours of pop music = 3

Number of hours of classical music = 2

According to question, Every month onwards, the hours of pop music in her collection is 5% more than what she had the previous month. Her classical music does not change.

Rate of increment = 5% = 0.05

Let the number of months be 'x'.

So, our required function becomes,

f(x)=3(1+0.05)x+2\\\\f(x)=3(1.05)x+2

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.
