Perpendicular lines<span> are two or more lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle, like the two lines drawn on this graph, and the x and y axes that orient them.</span>

Answer:

Perpendicular means "at right angles".

A line meeting another line at a right angle, or 90° is said to be perpendicular to it.

This is why we need to know what are angles first.

Angles are defined as the space between two intersecting lines close to the point where they meet.

So, when we say perpendicular lines meet at 90° angles, we must know the definition of angles.

A glass is
fenix001 [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

x=volume of the glass

(1/3)x+63=(5/8)x

63=(5/8)x-(1/3)x

63=(15/24)x-(8/24)x

63=(7/24)x

multiply both sides by 24/7

(24/7)(63)=(24/7)(7/24)x

216=x

216 cm3 is the volume (answer)

1/3 of 216 is 72

72+63=135

135/216=0.625=5/8

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -6) and has a<br> slope of - 1/3
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of - 1/3

This means that m = -\frac{1}{3}

So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

Through the point (-6, -6)

This means that when x = -6, y = -6. So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

-6 = -\frac{1}{3}(-6) + b

b + 2 = -6

b = -8

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8
