Answer:

  B.  y = 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-3) = 1/3. This eliminates choices A and C.

We can find the y-intercept (b) if we use the given point values in the equation ...

  y = 1/3x +b

we get ...

  -2 = (1/3)(-6) +b

  -2 = -2 +b . . . simplify

  0 = b . . . . . . . add 2

So, the equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is ...

  y = 1/3x . . . . matches choice B

_____

<em>Alternate solution method</em>

You can try the given point in the given equations. You will find that only the equation of choice B will work.

The total length of wire needed to fasten 175 bundles is 2,975 cm.
UkoKoshka [18]

According to the conversion table we know,

1 meter = 100cm

This means if we need to convert meters to centimeters, we need to multiply by 100

Or

If we need to convert from centimeters to meters, we need to divide by 100.

Here the length of the wire needed to wrap 175 bundles = 2975 cm.

Now as we need to convert it to meters.

We need to divide this by 100.

We get

2975/100= 29.75

So 2975 cm = 29.75 m

Option D) is the right answer

A dilation with a scale factor of 2 is applied to the three line segments shown. The resulting images are P′Q′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, A′B′¯¯¯¯¯
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to determine the scale factor,

Scale factor = \frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}

2 = \frac{P'Q'}{PQ}

2 = \frac{P'Q'}{2}

P'Q' = 4 cm

Similarly, for the length of A'B',

2 = \frac{A'B'}{AB}

2 = \frac{A'B'}{1.5}

A'B' = 3 cm

For the length of M'N',

2 = \frac{M'N'}{MN}

2 = \frac{M'N'}{3}

M'N' = 6 cm
