Answer:
B. y = 1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is -3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-3) = 1/3. This eliminates choices A and C.
We can find the y-intercept (b) if we use the given point values in the equation ...
y = 1/3x +b
we get ...
-2 = (1/3)(-6) +b
-2 = -2 +b . . . simplify
0 = b . . . . . . . add 2
So, the equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is ...
y = 1/3x . . . . matches choice B
_____
<em>Alternate solution method</em>
You can try the given point in the given equations. You will find that only the equation of choice B will work.
Answer:I think it’s A sorry if it’s wrong.
let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.
TOTAL: x + y = 112
y = 112 - x
PEELED: 
3x = 4y
3x = 4(112 - x)
3x = 448 - 4x
7x = 448
x = 64
y = 112 - x
= 112 - 64
= 48
a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges
Peeled apples: 
= 3(8) = 24
Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40
Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16
b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
quadrant IV
Sure hope this helped you, have a good day! =)
<span>(14+x)^2= 25^2 +x^2
14^2 + 28x + x^2 = </span><span>25^2 +x^2
28x = 25^2 - 14^2
28x = 625 - 196
28x = 429
x = 15.32</span>
