They are not IN a quadrant, but they all border the second quadrant.
Answer:
m= -2
b = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take two points from line.
(0,3) and (1,1)
now slope(m) = (1-3)/(1-0)
m = -2
now
y = mx+b
or, 3 = -2×0+b
or, 3 = 0+b
so, b = 3
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above
well then therefore
so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )
Since we have the 2.1 next to the parenthesis, we need to first distribute.
2.1 * x & 2.1 * 5
2.1x + 10.5
Then we take that and add the equals seven to the problem to move onto the next step.
2.1x + 10.5 = 7
We must get the 2.1x alone, therefore subtracting the 10.5 as it will also be subtracted on the other side as well.
2.1x + 10.5 = 7
- 10.5 -10.5
2.1x = -3.5
To get the x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.1, therefore removing the 2.1 from the x.
2.1x = -3.5
/2.1 /2.1
x = 1.66666666667
Hope this helped!
