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.

Which best describes the solution to 4 – 7? Because –4 + (–7) is an equivalent expression, the answer is –11. Because 4 + (–7) i
ANTONII [103]
The answer to your question would be: Because 4 + (-7) is an equivalent expression, your answer is -3. The reason for this can be described using integers. So lets say you have $4. You owe your brother $7. Since you don't have enough to pay him, you can pay him all your money, but you still have to pay him $3 more. This means technically your balance is $-3, cause if he needs the money, the second you get it he will ask for it. Sorry if this isn't too great of an example, not sure what else I could think of. Pretty much remember when subtracting a number, you can add the negative of the number, because that is the same thing. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D

Find the unit rate for each person's typing test in words per second 0.5 words/second is the unit rate for James. 3 words/second
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Unit rates is the rate of a quantity in comparison to 1 i.e. unit.

Based on the given parameters, Shanya is the fastest typist

From the question, the unit rates are given as:

  • James: 0.5 words per second
  • Shanya = 3 words per seconds

The unit rates of Tristan and Ebony are not given.

So, we compare the rates of James and Shanya

3 words in a second is greater than 0.5 words in a second.

Hence, Shanya is the fastest typist

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = V3x when f(x) is replaced with f(x + 4)?​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:Replacing x with -x will reflect a graph across the y-axis. Multiplying x by 3 before the function is applied will compress the graph horizontally. This means the correct choice is D.
