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.

PLEASE HELP ME:<br><br> Find the perimeter of the figure. Round to the nearest tenth.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

perimeter = 20.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter

perimeter = distance around two dimensional shape

= addition of all sides lengths

<h2>perimeter of the figure</h2><h2>= AB+BC+CD+AD</h2>

distance formula:

d =  \sqrt{(  x_{2} -  x_{1})  {}^{2}   + ( y_{2} -  y_{1}) {}^{2}  }

<h3>1) distance of AB</h3>

A(-3,0) B(2,4)

x1 = -3 x2 = 2

y1 = 0 y2 = 4

(substitute the values into the distance formula)

ab =  \sqrt{(2 - ( - 3)) {}^{2}  + (4 - 0) {}^{2} }

ab =  \sqrt{5 {}^{2} + 4 {}^{2}  }

ab =  \sqrt{41}AB = 6.4 units

<h3>2) distance of BC</h3>

B(2,4) C(3,1)

x1 = 2 x2 = 3

y1 = 4 y2 = 1

bc =  \sqrt{(3 - 2) {}^{2}  + (1 - 4) {}^{2} }

bc = \sqrt{1 {}^{2} + ( - 3) {}^{2}  }

bc =  \sqrt{10}

BC = 3.2 units

<h3>3) distance of CD</h3>

C(3,1) D(-4,-3)

x1 = 3 x2 = -4

y1 = 1 y2 = -3

cd =  \sqrt{( - 4 - 3) {}^{2}  + ( - 3 - 1)) {}^{2} }

cd =  \sqrt{( -   7) {}^{2}  + ( - 4 ){}^{2} }

cd =   \sqrt{65}

CD = 8.1 units

<h3>4) distance of AD</h3>

A(-3,0) D(-4,-3)

x1 = -3 x2 = -4

y1 = 0 y2 = -3

ad =  \sqrt{(  - 4 - ( - 3)) {}^{2}  +  ( - 3 - 0) {}^{2} }

ad =  \sqrt{( - 1) {}^{2} + ( - 3) {}^{2}  }

ad =  \sqrt{10}

AD = 3.2 units

<h2>perimeter of figure</h2>

= AB+BC+CD+AD

= 6.4 + 3.2 + 8.1 + 3.2

= 20.9 units

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!
choli [55]

Answer:

By excluding (10, 15), a better description can be given for the data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

Overall, this data seems to suggest a decreasing trend.  The value (10, 15) is an outlier; if we remove it, the trend appears to be stronger.  Thus if we exclude this value we can give a better description of the data set.
