<u>Given</u>:

Given that the graph of the equation of the line.

The line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2,-1)

We need to determine the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line.

<u>Slope of the given line:</u>

The slope of the given line can be determined by substituting any two coordinates from the line in the slope formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the coordinates (-1,3) and (2,2), we get;

m_1=\frac{2-3}{2+1}

m_1=-\frac{1}{3}

Thus, the slope of the given line is m_1=-\frac{1}{3}

<u>Slope of the perpendicular line:</u>

The slope of the perpendicular line can be determined by

m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}

Substituting m_1=-\frac{1}{3}, we get;

m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3}}

simplifying, we get;

m_2=3

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

<u>Equation of the perpendicular line:</u>

The equation of the perpendicular line can be determined using the formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substituting m=3 and the point (2,-1) in the above formula, we have;

y+1=3(x-2)

y+1=3x-6

     y=3x-7

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=3x-7

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.

Find the altitude of a cylinder with with a radius of 9 and a surface area of approximately 791.68 units2.
Vika [28.1K]

In this question , it is given that we have a cylinder with with a radius of 9 and a surface area of approximately 791.68 units square.

The formula of surface area of cylinder is

A= 2 \pi r^2 + 2 \pi r h

Substituting the values of A and r, we will get

791.68 = 2* \pi * 9^2  + 2 * \pi * 9*h&#10;\\&#10;791.68 = 162 \pi + 18 \pi h&#10;\\&#10;791.68 -162 \pi = 18 \pi h&#10;\\&#10;h = \frac{791.68 -162 \pi}{18 \pi}&#10;\\&#10;h =5 units

So the height of the cylinder is 5 units .
