Find an equation of the line. Write the equation in function notation. Through (6,-1); perpendicular to 9y=x-18

The first step is to find the slope of the given line by putting its equation in the form y = mx + b.
9y = x - 18
Dividing both sides by 9, gives:
y = (x/9) - 2
The slope of the given line is therefore 1/9.
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m.
The product of the two slopes must equal -1 for the lines to be perpendicular.
m\times\frac{1}{9}=-1
Therefore m = -9.
At this stage the equation of the required line is y = -9x + b.
Now we need to find the value of b.
Plugging the given values of a point on the line (6, -1) into the equation gives:
-1 = -54 + b; from which b = 53.
The required equation for the line is:
f(x) = -9x + 53.

Answer:

y = 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 4 + 4 / 7 - 3 = 8 / 4 = 2

y = 2x + b

-4 = 6 + b

b = -10

Every employee works 7 hours per day. every employee works 5 days per week. every employee works 49 weeks per year. how many day
andriy [413]
To determine the number of days that an employee work in a week, we simply use dimensional analysis and multiplying the number of works per week with the number of weeks in total for a year. That is,
                         employee works = (5 days per week)(49 weeks per year) 
                                                    =245 days

What is y = mx b for x?
makkiz [27]
Y=mx+b
minus b tboth sides
y-b=mx
divide both sides by m
\frac{y-b}{m}=x
