It's 5.4- I just used the calculator on my phone but I would've just done long division if I didn't have a calculator
<span>Simplifying
3x + -1y = 12
Solving
3x + -1y = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add 'y' to each side of the equation.
3x + -1y + y = 12 + y
Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0
3x + 0 = 12 + y
3x = 12 + y
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 4 + 0.3333333333y
Simplifying
x = 4 + 0.3333333333y</span>
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
An integer is a whole number so if x is positive and y is negative then the equation would just be x plus negative y. But x+-y is an odd equation so the simplified version is x-y so it is a rational number, since a rational number is a number that can be rewritten as a simple fraction.
You will be using the equation y = mx + b
The only variables you need to find are "m" and "b"
For the equation of a line to be perpendicular to the given line, the slope will have to be the opposite of the given slope. Or you have to flip the sign and the number of the given slope to get your new slope.
For example:
m = -2
perpendicular slope = 1/2(positive)
m = 3/4
perpendicular slope = -4/3(negative)
The slope of the line is -1.5 or -3/2
Your new slope is 2/3
y = 2/3x + b
To find "b", you plug in the point (2,0) into the equation.
0 = 2/3(2) + b
0 = 4/3 + b
-4/3 = b
Your new equation is y = 2/3x - 4/3
