Answer:

a = \frac{-1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line in the form .

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept .

As given

The lines y=3x-1 and y=ax+2 are perpendicular .

Here 3 is slope for equation of line  y=3x-1 and a is slope for equation of line

y=ax+2 .

Now by using properties of the perpendicular lines property .

When two lines are perpendicular than slope of one line is negative reciprocal of the other line .

Thus

a = \frac{-1}{3}

Therefore a = \frac{-1}{3}.

To find the perpendicular slope, you find the reciprocal  of the slope (in this case, 1/3) and multiply that by -1 (in this case, it gets -1/3)

Line 'L' is horizontal and passes through (-5,8). Line 'L is vertical and passes through $(4,-1)$. Find the point of intersectio
Elanso [62]
<h3>The two lines intersect at (4,8)</h3>

Every y coordinate on the horizontal line is the same, so each point has a y coordinate of y = 8. This is to be able to pass through (-5,8)

Every x coordinate on the vertical line is the same, so each point has an x coordinate of x = 4. This is to be able to pass through (4,-1)

Put this together to get the answer (x,y) = (4,8)

(2^8 x 3^-5 x 6^0) x [(3^-2/2^3) x 2^28] = x
(256 x .004 x 1) x [(.111/8) x 268,435,456] = x
(1.024 x 1) x .(0138 x 268,435,456) = x
1.024 x (.0138 x 268,435,456) = x
1.024 x 3,704,409.2928 = x
3,793,315.1158272 = x
Correct me if I am wrong. :)
