Answer:
x + 3y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Given
y - 1 = - 
(x - 6)
Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction
3y - 3 = - (x - 6) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
3y - 3 = - x + 6 ( add x to both sides )
x + 3y - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )
x + 3y = 9 ← in standard form
Answer:
perpendicular bisector
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry if im wrong
A: the independent variable is the number of soccer games you officiate
B: the dependent variable is your earnings
C: e = earnings; s = soccer games
e = 15s
We know that perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative inverses of each other. This means that the slope of the line we are going to need to find is 3.
Now, we can use the point-slope formula to find the actual equation of the line we are trying to find. The point-slope formula is
, where
and
are the coordinates of a point on the line and m is the slope.
Thus, the equation of the line we are trying to find is:
(y - 7) = 3(x - 2)
y - 7 = 3x - 6
y = 3x + 1
However, this is not an answer choice. The answers given have the constant on the right side of the equation. Thus, we will make our answer have the constant on the right side:
y - 3x = 1
-3x + y = 1
3x - y = -1
This is an answer choice.
B, or
3x - y = -1 is the correct answer.
