Given line: y =3x - 7

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is the y intercept

To find m you must take the slope of the line given, which would be 3, and take its opposite reciprocal (switch its sign to negative/positive if it was originally positive/negative and flip the numerator and denominator)

the opposite of 3 is -3 and the reciprocal of -3 is \frac{-1}{3}

This means that the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 3x - 7 is \frac{-1}{3}

This is the current formula you found:

y=\frac{-1}{3} x + b

To find the y-intercept (b) in the point that this line goes through (2, -1) into the x and y of the equation and solve for b

-1 = \frac{-1}{3}(2) + b

-1 = \frac{-2}{3} + b

\frac{-1}{3} = b

That means that the equation perpendicular to y = 3x - 7 is...

y = \frac{-1}{3} x - \frac{1}{3}

Hope this helped!

240 is 60% of what number?
Brums [2.3K]
Hi there! To find the answer to that question, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this: 240/x = 60/100. This is because we're looking for the whole and we already know the part, which is 240. Cross multiply the values in order to get 24,000 = 60x. Now, divide each side by 60 to isolate the variable. When you do, you get x = 400. You can check this by dividing and then multiplying that quotient by 100. 240/400 is 0.6 and 0.6 * 100 is 60. That makes 60%. There. 240 is 60% of 400.

Find a line perpendicular to -5y=-35/2x+10 that goes through point(7,4)
valina [46]

Answer:

y=-2/7x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

first write this in y=mx+b format, y=7/2x−2

then write the perpendicular line, which is the opposite & negative of m

y=−2/7x-2

then remove b

y=−2/7x+b

plug in the numbers

(7,4) y= 4 x=7

4=-2/7*7+b

b is 6

so put the numbers back in

y=-2/7x+6

hope this helps and have a great day
