Your should get the equation y=3x-7 as your answer.

This is going to be an long answer, so I'm putting the answer first. y=3x-7

First, you have to find the equation of the line given. You can use point slope form for that. You can see that the slope is -1/3, and it goes through (2,2). So, the equation would be
y-2=-1/3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=-1/3x+8/3

Now, we can get on to finding the actual answer. The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of the original slope. That just means you flip it and multiply it by -1. So, the slope of the new line is 3. Now you can use point slope form again and make an equation, which is
y+1=3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=3x-7

Please don't ask me why the slope is the negative reciprocal, or how they came up with the formula for the point slope form. I DON'T KNOW. If you want to know so bad you would give up chick-fil-A for the rest of your life, there's always google.

Which statement about the value of x is true?
Anarel [89]
The best way to find the answer is to solve for x. To start you would add 38 and 39, getting 77, then subtract that from 180 to get the last angle in the triangle, 103. Finally, you would subtract 103 from 180, getting 77, to get x. The only thing you need to do now is to look at all of the answers and figure out which one makes sense for the answer you got. You know it can't be x<77 because it doesn't have the or equal to sign. You know it can't be x>103 because 77 is lower than 103. You know it can't be x<39 because 77 is greater than 39, so the answer has to be x > 38.

Is the sequence arithmetic..... if so identify the common difference
const2013 [10]

Answer:

A) Yes, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence  An = {13, 20, 27, 34, ...}

Here the first term Ao = 13 and difference between the successive terms is (d) = 7

That is  d = 20  - 13

d = 7

It is an arithmetic sequence. d = 7

Answer: Yes, it is arithmetic sequence and common difference (d) = 7

Thank you.

Solve the Fahrenheit equation for Celsius
horrorfan [7]
The first step you should do is subtract 32 from both sides so your answer will turn out like this -

F = (9/5) C + 32
- 
F - 32 = (9/5)

Then we will multiply both sides by 5. 

5 ( F - 32 ) = 9 C

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate C.

(5/9)  ( F - 32 ) = C

So the answer is :

C = (5/9) ( F - 32 )

Hope this helps :)
