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.
7(a - 10) = 13 - 2(2a + 3)
7a - 70 = 13 - 4a - 6 = 7 - 4a
7a + 4a = 7 + 70
11a = 77
a = 77/11 = 7
a = 7.
I believe it’s b- it might not be correct I believe
Answer:
n=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: \[\frac{1}{n-4}-\frac{2}{n}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]
Simplifying the Left Hand Side of the equation by taking the LCM of the denominator terms:
\[\frac{n}{n*(n-4)}-\frac{2*(n-4)}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]
=> \[\frac{n - 2*(n-4)}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]
=> \[\frac{n - 2n + 8}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]
=> \[\frac{8 - n}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]
=> \[(8-n)*(4-n) =n*(n-4)*3\]
=> \[n-8 =3n\]
=> \[2n =8\]
=> n = 4
