Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the given equation in slope-intercept form ( y = mx + b ):

y+1=-3(x-5)\\y+1=-3x+15\\y=-3x+15-1\\y=-3x+14

<em>We know that the perpendicular line would have a slope (m) that is </em><em>negative reciprocal </em><em>of this (\frac{1}{3}). Thus we can write the perpendicular line's equation as  y=\frac{1}{3}x+b. </em>

<em />

<em>Now putting x = 4 and y = -6 into the equation, we can solve for b:</em>

<em>y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\-6=\frac{1}{3}(4)+b\\-6=\frac{4}{3}+b\\b=-6-\frac{4}{3}\\b=-\frac{16}{3}</em>

<em />

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is  y=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}

What is the definition of congruent
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

more ... The same shape and size, but we are allowed to flip, slide or turn. In this example the shapes are congruent (you only need to flip one over and move it a little). Angles are congruent when they are the same size (in degrees or radians). Sides are congruent when they are the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

happy to help ya:)

Solve five and three sixths minus two and one third.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.

HTH :)
