What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -3x + 1 and passes through (2,3)?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+2\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-3x+1\to m_1=-3.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-3}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(2,\ 3).$

$\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=2,\ y=3:\\\\3=\dfrac{1}{3}(2)+b\\\\3=\dfrac{2}{3}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\b=2\dfrac{1}{3}$

A group of student has 20 Male and 10 females what is the ratio of female-to-male

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The ratio of female-to-male is 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 female students and 20 male students. If we were to divide each number by 10, we would get 1 and 2, respectively. That means for every 1 female student, there are 2 male students. The ratio would then be 1:2.
