Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to solve this inequality.

When you're asked to solve an inequality like -3x > 18, your goal should be the same as it was when solving equations, to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side.

In this problem since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by -3 on the left side of the inequality, to get <em>x</em> by itself, we divide both sides by -3 but here is the rule you have to watch out for when solving inequalities.

When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign. So this greater than in our original problem becomes less than in our second step.

On the left side, the -3's cancel and we're left with

<em>x</em> and on the right side, 18 divided by -3 is -6.

So we have x < -6.

Now, we are asked to state some solutions to the inequality.

The inequality x < -6 means that any number

less than -6 is a solution to the inequality.

For example, -7 is a solution because -7 is less than -6.

-8 is also a solution because -8 is less than -6.

Other possible solutions include -23, -98, -982, and so on.

Any number less than -6 will be a solution.

Rewrite using a single positive exponent
Korolek [52]

Answer:

9³

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of \dfrac{9^5}{9^2}.

We know that,

\dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

Here, a = 5 and b = 2.

So,

\dfrac{9^5}{9^2}=9^{5-2}\\\\=9^3

So, the answer to the given expression is 9³.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. Enter your answer in s
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.2x - 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.

For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5

The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".

So, the perpendicular line will have slope of  -\frac{1}{5}

So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:

y = -1/5x + b

Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b\\-7=-\frac{1}{5}(6)+b\\-7=-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=-7+\frac{6}{5}\\b=-5.8

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8
