The answer is 5

If two slopes are perpendicular to one another, their product will be -1.
This can be shown as;
(-1/5) * x = -1
x = (-1)/(-1/5)
x = 5

What is the y-intercept of the line that is
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the line would be (C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line with the equation y = -3x - 5 is -3. When figuring out a slope perpendicular to another line you would use the negative reciprocal of the slope which would lead to the slope of the line to be 1/3.

We know it passes through the point (-3,7), substituting x and y, we would then get our new equation, (7) = \frac{1}{3}( -3) + b.

Solve the equation by multiplying -3 with 1/3 and the product would be -1. Add negative one on both sides and you would get 8 = b.

Which of the following is a list that follows this pattern with its numbers: prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime 1, 5,
Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answer is option A which is the pattern {prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime} is followed by 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13.

<h3>What are prime and composite numbers?</h3>

Prime numbers:-

The prime number is defined as the number which is divided by 1 and itself.

Composite numbers:-

The number is defined as the composite number when the number is divided by 1 itself and any other numbers also.

From the given options we need to choose the pattern of the series { prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime } so we can see that in option A correct pattern is followed.

Pattern { 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 }

1   → prime

5  → prime

7  → prime

9  → composite

11  → prime

13 → prime

Therefore the correct answer is option A which is the pattern {prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime} is followed by 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13.
