Line through (a,b) with slope m is

y - b = m(x -a)

Here that's line through (a,b)=(5/3, -7) with slope m=-3/4

y - -7 = (-3/4) (x - 5/3)

Solve for y,

y + 28/4 = (-3/4) x + 5/4

y = (-3/4) x - 23/4

Look at the choices.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x+ 3y = -15 Fully simplify your answer.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of the given line in this two way:

1) the faster is calculate -a/b where a is the number the multiply x and b is the number the multiply y. In this case we have -1/3

2) the second method is rewrite the equation in slope intercept form and find the therm that multiply x

3y = -x-15

y = -1/3x - 5

Also in this case we have -1/3

Two perpendicular lines have the the product of the their slope that is -1

So the slope that we are finding is 3

In fact = 3 x -1/3 = -1

..1+4=5. 2+5=12. 3+6=21. 8+11=40 or this could be 96 which is right and why

andre [41]

Multiply the numbers being added then add the first number. 4X1=4, 4+1=5.
2X5=10, 10+2=12. 11X8=88, 88+8=96. I'm not sure how to get 40, though.
Hope I could help.
