Answer:

  y = -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have the coefficients of x and y swapped (and one of them negated), and will have a constant appropriate to the point the line needs to go through.

The equation will look like ...

  x -3y = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . given line

  3x +y = constant . . . . . . perpendicular line

where "constant" can be found by substituting for x and y.

  3x +y = 3(5) +(-9)

  3x +y = 6 . . . . equation in standard form

To put this in slope-intercept form subtract 3x:

  y = -3x +6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.

Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.

Total of scale usage is 2

b) if you have 3^n coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.

Step 1: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^n}{3} = 3^{n-1} coins

Step 2: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-1}}{3} = 3^{n-2} coins

Step 3: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-2}}{3} = 3^{n-3} coins

...

Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of 3^{n-n} = 3^0 = 1coin
