Answer:

The correct option is 2. The equation of line is x + 3y = 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

It is given that the slope of a line is -1/3 and a y-intercept is 6.

Substitute m=-1/3 and b=6 in the above equation.

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+6$

Multiply both the sides by 3.

$3y=-x+18$

Add x on both the sides.

$x+3y=-x+18+x$

$x+3y=18$

The equation of line is x + 3y = 18. Therefore the correct option is 2.

The second choice is correct, but I believe that either its +1/3 ( in the question) or -3y as that will give you the answer of: y=1/3x+6

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANK YOU!

Answer:

$\sqrt{37}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between a point (m, n ) and the line

Ax + By + C = 0

d = $\frac{|Am +Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

Here (m, n) = (6, 2) and rearranging the line

6x - y + 3 = 0 ← in general form

with A = 6, B = - 1 and C = 3 , then

d = $\frac{|6(6)-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }$

= $\frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }$

= $\frac{37}{\sqrt{37} }$

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying numerator/ denominator by $\sqrt{37}$

= $\frac{37}{\sqrt{37} }$ × $\frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }$

= $\frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37}$ ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

= $\sqrt{37}$

Answer:

an = 4n +5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find a common difference

d = a2-a1 = 13-9 = 4

The formula for an

an =a1+d(n-1)

an = 9 + 4(n-1)

Distributing

an = 9+4n-4

Combine like terms

an = 4n +5
