2.5x - 3 + 2x = 1.75x - 1.25x + 13
4.5x - 3 = 0.50x + 13
4.0x = 16
x = 4
Answer: 4
2. We'll assume those xs are in the numerator
(3/7)x - 1/4 + (3/7)x = (9/7)x - (3/7)x + 3/4 - 1
(6/7)x - 1/4 = (6/7)x - 1/4
0 = 0
That's always true.
Answer: Any x is a solution.
The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.
To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3
The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.
Answer:
3/4 (the first option)
Answer:
y = -5/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets turn the equation from standard form to slope intercept form.
3x - 5y = 1
~Subtract 3x to both sides
-5y = 1 - 3x
~Divide -5 to everything
y = -1/5 + 3/5x
~Reorder
y = 3/5x - 1/5
Now that we have the equation in slope intercept form, we can find the new equation. A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.
3/5x -> -5/3x
Now that we have the slope, we can use the given point to find the y-intercept.
y = -5/3x + b
8 = -5/3(-3) + b
8 = 5 + b
3 = b
Put all the information we solved for into a final equation.
y = -5/3x + 3
Best of Luck!
Answer:
It's non-proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
You could tell every 1/4 mile is 6 minutes, so every other number should be a multiple of 6 if it is a multiple of 1/4. 27 is not a multiple of 6.
