Answer:
These fractions are already in simplest form.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = (-1/3)(x + 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the new (perpendicular) line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, which appears to be 3. Thus, the perpendicular line has the slope -1/3.
Using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, and substituting the givens, we obtain:
y = mx + b => -6 = (-1/3)(8) + b, or
-6 = -8/3 + b. We must solve for the y-intercept, b:
Multiplying all three terms by 3 removes the fraction:
-18 = -8 + 3b. Thus, -10 = 3b, and so b must be -10/3.
The desired equation is
y = (-1/3)x - 10/3, or
y = (-1/3)(x + 10)
now, is it true that -2 is lesser than 1? if it's true, is a solution, if is false, is not then
