Lines m and p are perpendicular. if the slope of line m is -3 what is the slope of line p

Mathematics

For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1, in this case our reference line has a slope of -3 so:

-3m=-1  divide both sides by -3

m=-1/-3

m=1/3

So the perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/3

in essence it's just asking on getting the equation of that line in more or less slope-intercept form, hmmm well, it's a line, so all we need is two points to get it, hmmm let's see let's use the starting point and terminal point, so we know it goes through the origin, (0,0) and also goes through (1, 0.7), let's change 0.7 to a fraction, so its 7/10, ok, let's use those two points from it.

(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{10}}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{10}}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{7}{10}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{7}{10}

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{7}{10}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y = \cfrac{7}{10}x

Answer this for 15 points and Brainliest
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

y=3x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, we first need to find the slope.

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=0-(-9)/-6-(-9)

m=9/3=3

Next we need to find b, or the y-intercept

to do that we plug in numbers to what we already have.

y=3x+b

0=-18+b

b=18

Now we put it all together.

<h3>y=3x+18</h3>

The city of Smyrna has a flea population that has been doubling every year. If there are about 100,200 fleas this year, how many
Bad White [126]
The equation for this is 100,200(2)^n   where n is the number of years

so in 3 years the population will be  100,200(2)^3 = 801,600
