Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -2) and is perpendicular to the line

Mathematics

Answer:

y = - 3x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } = - 3, so

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (6, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 18 = 16

y = - 3x + 16 ← equation of perpendicular line

Veronika [31]
Jocelyn makes more than $195 but not over $645. The amount she has to pay is 15% of the excess of 196. Find this first via subtraction.

421 - 195 = $226 over 

Take 15% of this

226 x .15 = $33.9

The tax also includes a $14.4 addition to this 15%.

33.9 + 14.4 = $48.3 total income tax

Quick help: Explain how to solve the following system of equations. What is the solution to the system?
romanna [79]
-3x - 4y - 2z = 0
x + 3y + 2z = 1

-2x - y = 1

-4x - 4y - 2z = 10
3x + 4y +2z= 0

-x = 10. x = -10

-2(-10) - y = 1
20 - y = 1
-y = -19
y = 19

-10 + 3(19) + 2z = 1
-10 + 57 + 2z = 1
47 + 2z = 1
2z = -46
z= -23

check: 2(-10)+2(19)-23=-5
-20+38-23=-5
-43+38=-5
-5=-5
