y-intercept -3
slope 1/2
is sufficient info with which to write an equation for a straight line:
y = mx + b becomes y = (1/2)x - 3.
You should check this by determining whether or not (2,-1) satisfies this equation.
There are three significant figures in 4.02
The perpendicular equation is y = -3/2x - 4.
You can find this by first realizing that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So since it starts at 2/3 we flip it and make it a negative and the new slope is -3/2. Now we can use that and the point to get the y intercept using slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
5 = (-3/2)(-6) + b
5 = 9 + b
-4 = b
And now we can use our new slope and new intercept to model the equation.
y = -3/2x - 4
Answer: 14
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 x 14 = 10.5 or 10.50.
