Which of the following are perpendicular to the line y=-1/3x+5 (three answers)

1 answer:

6 0

Y = -1/3x + 5....slope here is -1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3.

y = 3x....has a slope of 3, so this is perpendicular.
3x - y = 2.....y = 3x- 2.....has a slope of 3 and is therefore perpendicular
3x - y = 6.....y = 3x - 6...has a slope of 3 and is perpendicular

59pounds * 5days = 295pounds

6.95pounds * 3breakfasts = 20.85pounds

12.50pounds * 1eveningmeal = 12.50pounds

295pounds + 20.85pounds + 12.50pounds = 328.35pounds

Wrote out the units just for clarity! Liz payed 328.25 pounds altogether.

1.How do you turn 34% into a fraction.

bearhunter [10]

For the first two, put it them over 100. So number 1 would be 34/100 or 17/50 reduced. Number 2 is 77.5/100 and since it is a decimal, I would keep it at over 100. Number 3 put 8/10 or 4/5 reduced and number 4 is different. Think of it as money and how a quarter is in relation to a dollar. You have 4 quarters in a dollar, so since you have .25%, it is 1/4.
