Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Slope of a Perpendicular Line

y = −3x − 8y

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

Move all terms containing y to the left side of the equation.

9y = −3x

Divide each term by 9 and simplify.

y = −(x/3)

Write in y = mx + b form.

y = -(1/3)x

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is − (1/3)

m = -(1/3)

The equation of a perpendicular line to y = − (1/3)x must have a slope that is the negative  reciprocal of the original slope.

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

Simplify the result.

mperpendicular = 3

Answer:

I believe the answer is y = -7/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rearrange the equation, y = -3x - 8y, you will get -7y = -3x.

We want the equation to be equal to y by itself. So we divide -7 from both sides, giving us the equation y = 3/7x.

The graph that is perpendicular to y = 3/7x is it's reciprocal: y = -7/3x

X(5)+2=244<br>help pls<br>(^_^)​
arsen [322]

Simplify both sides of the equation

  • 5x+2=244

Subtract 2 from both sides

  • 5x+2−2=244−2
  • 5x=242

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{242}{5}

  • Answer

\: x =  \dfrac{242}{5}

OR

\: x =  48.4
