Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the perpendicular line is y =  \frac{1}{3} x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1

  • If the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is -\frac{1}{m}

The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

∵ The equation of a line is y = -3x + 6

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above to find m

∴ m = -3

→ Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∵ The reciprocal of -3 with the opposite sign is \frac{1}{3}

∴ m⊥ line =  \frac{1}{3}

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation above

∴ y =  \frac{1}{3} x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of a point on the line

∵ The perpendicular line goes through (12, -2)

∴ x = 12 and y = -2

∵ -2 =  \frac{1}{3} (12) + b

∴ -2 = 4 + b

→ Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ -2 - 4 = 4 - 4 + b

∴ -6 = b

→ Subustitute it in the equation above

∴ y =  \frac{1}{3} x + -6

∴ y =  \frac{1}{3} x - 6

The slope-intercept form of the perpendicular line is y =  \frac{1}{3} x - 6

Answer:

A.

We can see that the rectangles are congruent meaning they can be mapped onto one another perfectly and therefore 13 and t make up a rectangle the same size and shape as the second one. This means that 13+t will add to 17 since the rectangle they make up is congruent to the second one

Answer:

  A.  ∠EAG and ∠BAC

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles share a vertex and have opposite rays for sides.

Rays AE and AB are opposite; rays AG and AC are opposite. These are the only pairs of opposite rays in the figure, so the vertical angles must be constructed from one of the rays of the first pair and one of the rays of the second pair. ∠EAG and ∠BAC are a pair of vertical angles.

The other pair is ∠EAC and ∠BAG.
