If you are trying to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, you would need to change the sign and change it to the fraction's reciprocal.
m = 
Change the sign of the slope:
Finally, make the reciprocal of the original slope (switching the numerator and denominator):
Simplify:
3
Final answer:
Answer:
C) (-3, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5/3x + 4
When x = 0, y = 4
When y = 0, x = -2.4
graph the points: (0, 4) and (-2.4, 0)
y = -2/3x - 3
When x = 0, y = -3
When y = 0, x = -4.5
graph the points: (0, -3) and (-4.5, 0)
The lines will cross at point: (-3, -1)
Answer:
Option b
Step-by-step explanation:
To represent this proportion using fractions, let the numerators be the number of waffles sold and denominator, the number of sugar cones.
Thus, the proportion that can be used to represent the cone sales is
14/6 = 7/3
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:
x+2, x+4, x+6.
The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e
x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123
x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123
3x + 12 = 123
Collect like terms
3x = 123 — 12
3x = 111
Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3
x = 111/3
x = 37
Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:
1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39
2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41
3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43
The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39
The only linear equation is choice d
