Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other is -b/a
in this case, the given slope is 1/3, so the other line's slope is -3/1, which is -3
from the graph we see that the y intercept of line b is -4, so the equation of line b is: y=-3x-4
Answer:
z = 113
y = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
j || n and line a is their transversal. (given)
Therefore,
z° = 180° - 67° (exterior angles on the same side of transversal)
z°= 113°
z = 113
(5y - 88)° = 67° (exterior alternate angles)
5y - 88 = 67
5y = 67 + 88
5y = 155
y = 155/5
y = 31
Answer:
To find the volume of a cube one must multiply all three dimensions together. Here we know two of the dimensions and the volume but not the third dimension. First I multipl together to two known dimensions: 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8. Next I divide the volume by this answer by using the reciprocal of 3/8 and multipling. 21/32 x 8/3 = 7/4 by cancelling the 32 with the 8 and the 21 with the 3. Now 7/4 must be changed into a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator and write the remainder as a fraction. 7/4 = 1 3/4.

Answer:
Yes they can all be written in y = mx + b. You just have to move the terms around.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x -3, this is already in slope-intercept form
Now, y - 2 = x + 2: We can add 2 on both sides to cancel out the one on the left side:
y - 2 = x + 2
y - 2 + 2 = x + + 2
y = x + 4 <-- This is in y = mx + b form
Now the last one, 3x = 9 + 3y
We can first divide all terms by 3,
3x = 9 + 3y
/3 /3 /3
x = 3 + y: Then we can subtract 3 from both sides:
x - 3 = 3 + y - 3
x - 3 = y
These are all linear equations because none of the x's have bigger powers than 1. x^2 is a quadratic equation and x^3 is cubic equation.
