The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.
Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.
5x - 9y = 1
-9y = -5x + 1
y = 5/9x - 1/9
To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).
To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).
This gives us a new slope of
Answer:
A. 228.5
B. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since <em>x</em> represents the number of months, replace <em>x</em> with 6 in the equation. Then multiply 29x6, which equals 174. Then add 174+54.5, which equals 228.5.
B. You need to solve for <em>x</em> by switching the signs in the equation<em>. </em>Set the original equation (29x+54.5) equal to 344.50. To solve for <em>x, </em>first subtract 344.50-54.5, which equals 290 (you subtract because it's the opposite of adding). Then divide 290÷29, which equals 10. You can check your work by replacing <em>x</em> in the original equation with 10, and if you get 344.5, your answer is correct.
Good luck :)
<span>In this case, the value of the first 3 (the ten-thousands) has a value of 30,000. The 3 next to it, in the hundred-thousands place, has a value of 300,000. To compare the two, the 3 on the right has a value one-tenth as much as that on the left.</span>
