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.
No
Both share the same x-values which means it isn’t a function
Hope this helps ;)
Answer: SAS similarity postulate
Step-by-step explanation:
According to SAS postulate of similarity, two triangles are called similar if two sides in one triangle are in the same proportion to the corresponding sides in the other, and the included angle are congruent.
In triangles, QNR and MNP,
Also,
(Reflexive)
Thus, By SAS similarity postulate,
⇒ Option first is correct.
8x + 3× + 9x = 180
20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9
The smallest angle is: 3×9 = 27 degrees
Note: 180 degrees is the sum of angles in a triangle
