write an equation that is perpendicular to x - 3y =3 and passes through the point (5,-9) in slope-intercept form.

9514 1404 393
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

The length of the prism is 14 cm if the volume of the prism is 378 cubic cm and face area is 27 square cm.
<h3>What is volume?</h3>It is defined as a three-dimensional space enclosed by an object or thing.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture please refer to the attached picture.
We know the volume of the prism can be calculated:
Volume = base area×length
378 = 27x
x = 378/27 = 14 cm
Thus, the length of the prism is 14 cm if the volume of the prism is 378 cubic cm and face area is 27 square cm.
