Answer:

Therefore equation of lie is,

y = x/3 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,a line passing through (-6, 5) and having a slope of 1/3

Points to remember

The equation of a line passing through the point (x₁, y₁) with slope m is given by

(y - y1)/(x - x₁) = m

To find the equation of line

here x₁ = -6, y₁ = 5 and m = 1/3

(y - y1)/(x - x₁) = m

(y - 5)/(x - - 6) = 1/3

(y - 5)/(x + 6) =1/3

y = x/3 + 7

Answer:

y = 1/3 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given; the line is passing through, (-6,5) and the slope is 1/3

We can get its equation;

We would take, a point (x,y) and the given point (-6,5)

Therefore; Since slope = Δy/Δx

Then;

(5-y)/ (-6-x) = 1/3

3(5-y) = -6 -x

15 - 3y = -6 - x

we get;

3y = 6 + x + 15

3y = x + 21

Therefore;

<u>y = 1/3 x + 7</u>

Justin is constructing a line through point Q that is perpendicular to line n. He has already constructed the arcs shown. He pla
krek1111 [17]
<span>B. It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. This problem would be a lot easier if you had actually supplied the diagram with the "arcs shown". But thankfully, with a few assumptions, the solution can be determined. Usually when constructing a perpendicular to a line through a specified point, you first use a compass centered on the point to strike a couple of arcs on the line on both sides of the point, so that you define two points that are equal distance from the desired intersection point for the perpendicular. Then you increase the radius of the compass and using that setting, construct an arc above the line passing through the area that the perpendicular will go. And you repeat that using the same compass settings on the second arc constructed. This will define a point such that you'll create two right triangles that are reflections of each other. With that in mind, let's look closely at your problem to deduce the information that's missing. "... places his compass on point B ..." Since he's not placing the compass on point Q, that would imply that the two points on the line have already been constructed and that point B is one of those 2 points. So let's look at the available choices and see what makes sense. A .It must be wider than when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Not good. Since this implies that the arc centered on point A has been constructed, then it's a safe assumption that points A and B are the two points defined by the initial pair of arcs constructed that intersect the line and are centered around point Q. If that's the case, then the arc centered around point B must match exactly the setting used for the arc centered on point A. So this is the wrong answer. B It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Perfect! Look at the description of creating a perpendicular at the top of this answer. This is the correct answer. C. It must be equal to BQ. Nope. If this were the case, the newly created arc would simply pass through point Q and never intersect the arc centered on point A. So it's wrong. D.It must be equal to AB. Sorta. The setting here would work IF that's also the setting used for the arc centered on A. But that's not guaranteed in the description above and as such, this is wrong.</span>
