The slope of line T is -1/5, because perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, meaning the opposite sign (positive or negative) and flipped (whole number becomes a fraction).
Answer:
y = -3x + 21
Step-by-step explanation:
(5,6)
y = mx + b
6 = -3 × 5 + b
solving for b
b = 6 - (-3)(5)
b = 21
Therefore,
y = -3x + 21
Answer:
x = -8
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this expression using simultaneous equation, we would say let
y =9............................................. equation 1
6x + 5y =-3............................................equation 2
substitute equation 1 into equation 2
-3 = 6x + 5y............................................equation 2
6x + 5(9) = -3
6x + 45 = -3
collect the like terms
6x = -3-45
6x = -48
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 6
6x/6 = -48/6
x = -8
therefore y = 9
x = -8
2 loaves divided by 5 friends would be approximately 0.4 pieces of bread each.
