The answer would be false
To find the equation for the line in slope-intercept form y= mx + b, perpendicular to the line shown and passing through (6, -6):
The slope of the blue line is the rise (change in y) divided by run (change in x)
Choosing two points on the line (0, -6) and (2,0)
Slope = (0 - (-6)) / (2 - 0) = 6 / 2 = 3
The slope of our perpendicular line will be the opposite inverse, so:
m = -1/3
We have the point (6, -6) so we can solve for b
y = mx + b
-6 = (-1/3)*6 + b
-6 = -2 + b
b = -4
We know that m= (-1/3) and b= -4, so:
y = (-1/3)x - 4
This is definitely the correct answer. None of the above answers describe the line that is perpendicular to the blue line and passes through (6, -6). Make sure you wrote the options down correctly.
The term that would describe the contents would be the volume of the cylindrical container. From the definition of matter, gases do not have a definite shape and volume. It takes the shape and volume of their container. So, if you want to know how much Nitrogen Oxide there is in the container, you have to determine the volume of the cylinder.
Y=4/5+2 this is in slope interception
