Answer:

5x - 3y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = −9 can be solved for y (and thus for the slope explicitly):

5y = -3x - 9, or y = (-3/5)x - 9/5.  The slope of the given line is -3/5.  The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of this -3/5, which is 5/3.  Substituting 3 for x and 0 for y, our slope-intercept  equation y = mx + b becomes 0 = (5/3)(3) + b, which leads to b = -5:

y = (5/3)x - 5.  We must put this back into standard form, starting by multiplying all three terms by 3:

3y = 5x - 15, or -5x + 3y = -15.  This is equivalent to 5x - 3y = 15 (which is the last answer choice).

How do u put a fraction to make a decimal
katen-ka-za [31]
If you want to turn a fraction to a decimal, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator in order to get a decimal number. If the fraction is a mixed number, you would do the same but make sure that the whole number is in front of the decimal.

Consider functions f and g below.
Scrat [10]
Answer: -12 x^2 - 3x + 27  

In this question, there are two function of f(x) and g(x) 
f(x)= -9 x^2 - 7x + 12
g(x)= 3x^2 -4x -15
The question is about f(x)- g(x). To answer this, you just need to replace the question with the function. Don't forget to apply the minus to all the product inside the function. The calculation would be:

f(x)- g(x)= 
(-9 x^2 - 7x + 12) -(3x^2 -4x -15)=
-9 x^2 - 7x + 12 (-3x^2 +4x +15)= 
-12 x^2 - 3x + 27
