-2a-9=6a+15

Move 6a to the other side. Sign changs from +6a to -6a.

-2a-6a-9=6a-6a+15

-2a-6a-9=15

-8a-9=15

Move -9 to the other side. Sign changes from -9 to +9.

-8a-9+9=15+9

-8a=15+9

-8a=24

Divide both sides by -8

-8a/-8=24/-8

a=-3

Answer: a=-3

Which lines are perpendicular to the line y - 1 = 1/3 (x+2)? Check all that apply.

ioda

Answer: Options 1, 3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so since the slope of the given line is 1/3, we need to find lines with a slope of -3.

Option 1 has a slope of -3.
Option 2 has a slope of 3.
Option 3 has a slope of -3.
Option 4 has a slope of 1/3.
If we subtract 3x from both sides, we get y=-3x+7, so option 5 has a slope of -3.
