Answer:

it can be written as 6/1 divided by 1/2

then you'll use the keep, switch, flip method. keep 6/1, switch division to multiplication, and flip 1/2 to become 2/1 or 2

now your equation is 6 x 2 = 12

Julio did 6 divided by 2. which could've been fixed if he changed the division sign to multiplication and multiplied

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,7) and is perpendicular to the line

Temka [501]

The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$6x+y=3\\y= -6x+3$

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.

Let m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

Then

$m_1=-6$

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

$m_1*m_2 = -1\\-6*m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{-1}{-6}\\m_2=\frac{1}6}$

The equation of new line can be written as:

$y=m_2x+b\\$

Putting m2

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+b$

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

$7=\frac{1}{6}(-6)+b\\7=-1+b\\b=7+1\\b=8$

Putting the values of b and m in general equation

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

A charitable organization packed 72 bags of rice, 48 blankets, and 24 cases of water equally in the boxes. Find the greatest pos

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The greatest possible number of boxes that is needed to pack the items with no leftovers is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of rice bags = 72

Number of blankets =48

Number of water cases = 24

To Find :

The greatest possible number of boxes that the items can be packed into so that there are no leftover = ?

Solution:

we can find the greatest possible number of boxes that is required by finding the HCF(Highest common factor) of(24,48,72)

Finding the HCF (Highest common factor):

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

24 is the greatest common factor

Hence 24 will the number boxes required

Which linear equation has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of –2?

deff fn [24]

Hey there!

We'll write our linear equation in the slope-intercept form, which is:

y = mx +b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. With that being said, we don't have to solve for anything here. We have both the slope in the y-intercept to plug in. We have:

y = 3x - 2

With 3 as the slope and 2 as the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
