Since it is perpendicular to y=3x-1, the slope must be a negative reciprocal.
there the slope of the perpendicular line is

So now we have,

To find b, we use the point that the line passes through and substitute it to the y and x values.

which would give us b=5/3
Therefore, the equation of the line is
I don't know it's so difficult
Answer:
Seth has 21 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.
Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents. Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then

Solve this equation:

It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
3 nickles plus 8 pennies
(3x5)+(8x1) = 15 + 8 = 23
= 23¢
