Write the equation Of a line in slope intercept form that passes through (-2,5) and is perpendicular to y=1/3x-2

Mathematics

Answer:

y = - 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } = - 3 , thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 6 = - 1

y = - 3x - 1 ← equation of perpendicular line

Use the order of operations to evaluate -(3 2) 2 + 4 * 3 - 2
LenaWriter [7]

So first remember the order of operations. Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction.

So we have the following problem.

-(3*2)2+4*3-2

Multiply the three and two inside the parentheses first.

-6*2+4*3-2

Next multiply any numbers that need multiplied.

-12+12-2

Next add and subtract from left to right to get an answer of...

-2


Hope this helps!

Yuson used her calculator to solve the equation 4/5x - 8 = 3. She entered the following on her screen and got an incorrect answe
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

55/4

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4 /5x−8=3

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides.

4 /5x−8+8=3+8

4 /5 x = 11

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 5/4.

( 5 /4 )*( 4 /5 x)=( 5 /4 )*(11)

x=  55/4

Answer:

x=

55 /4

Hope that helps :)
