Answer:
The slope of any line perpendicular to the given line is 3

Explanation:
The general form of the linear line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope
The given line is:
y = -1/3 x + 22
Comparing the given line with the general form, we will find that:
slope of the given line (m1) is -1/3

Now, for any two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be equal to -1.
This means that:
m1 * m2 = -1
We have m1 = -1/3
Therefore:
-1/3 * m2 = -1
m2 = 3*1
m2 = 3

Hope this helps :)

Select the correct answer. Consider these three numbers written in scientific notation: 6. 5 × 103, 5. 5 × 105, and 1. 1 × 103.

Scientific notation uses expression which gives easy access of order. The greatest number is $5.5 \times 10^5$ .It is greater by smallest number by 500 times.

It is usually of the form $a.bc.. \times 10^k$ exponent of 10 starts)

(we have 1 ≤ |a| < 10 ) (where |a| is magnitude of a without sign)

This notation is used to get some idea of how large or small a number is in terms of power of 10.

If we have $a^b$ base and 'b' is called power or exponent and we call it "a is raised to the power b" (this statement might change from text to text slightly).
