write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through the point, and is perpendicular to the line y=-1/3x+9
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1/3x+9

This is written in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative inverse of the slope of the reference line, in this case -(1/3).  The new slope is 3.  equation is:

y = 3x + b

To find b, enter the given point, (-6,-2) and solve for b:

y = 3x + b

-2 = 3(-6) + b

-2 = -18 + b

b = 16

The full equation is y=3x + 18

Whats the difference between linear equations and quadratic equation
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and C are constants. ... A quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

10 more girls

Step-by-step explanation:

So here 2/3 of 24 ran for first race

Then it gives us that 16 girls ran for first race.

Next, 1/4 of 24 ran for second race

That is 6 girls

The remaining girls ran for the third race,

24 - 22

2 girls

16 - 6 = 10

So for first race 10 more girls ran
