Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{19}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{3} , thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c , substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - \frac{4}{3} + c ⇒ c = 5 + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{19}{3}

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{19}{3} ← equation of perpendicular line

Suppose y varies inversely as x, and y = 16 when x = 1/2. Find y when x = 17.
MArishka [77]

<u>Finding the proportionality constant</u> :

  • y = k/x
  • 16 = k/(1/2)
  • <u>k = 8</u>

<u>Finding y when x = 17</u> :

  • y = 8/(17)
  • y = 8/17

The value of y is <u>8/17</u> when x = 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 30 boys in the competition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The ratio of girls to boys who participated in the quiz bowl was 7:5. There were 42 girls in the competition.

To find : How many boys participated?

Solution : Let x be the number of boys in the competition.

There are 42 girls in the competition.

The ratio form by girls to boys is 42 : x

The ratio of girls to boys who participated in the quiz bowl was 7 : 5.

Solving the two ratios,

Therefore, There are 30 boys in the competition.
