Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)
Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.
The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.
Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.
So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c
Which would be 1 = -1 +c
And so c = 2
Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 9*8=72
2) 8*3=24
3)72-24=48
3/4…
To simplify a fraction, you have to find a similar factor between the numerator and denominator. In this case, it would be 4.
You would divide both numbers by this common factor and create a new fraction.
So… 9/3=3, and 12/3=4. When combined, the answer becomes 3/4.
