Determine the equation of a line through the point (3,-4) that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+7

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is

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

y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

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

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

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

Alex runs on the track at school each weekday morning. If he runs 5.9 miles each day, about how much does he run every month?
Lisa [10]
Now, since we know that 5.9 is the amount of miles per day, we need to determine how many miles per month.

Usually, there are 20 days...because of no weekdays

Multiply.

5.9 * 20 = 118

Final answer:- He runs 118 miles per month.

Manish and Jhanavi each receive an equal bonus. Manish has 1/2 fraction of allowance as saving accounts , 1/4 of the fraction he
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Manish has Rs630 while Jhanavi has Rs168.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction Manish would have left would be subtracting the fraction on savings as well as that spent on the mall. Which would be;

1 -( 1/2 + 1/4)=1 -3/4 = 1/4

Meaning Manish had 1/4 of his allowance left on him.

Which means 1/4 × Rs. 2520=Rs630

Similarly for Jhanavi, we have :

The fraction left as

1-(1/3 +3/5) = 1 - ( 14/15) = 1/15

Meaning 1/15 of the allowance got remains which is;

1/15 × Rs. 2520= Rs.168
