Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation is; y= -3x

or, 3x+y = 0.......... (I)

From equation (I)

slope(m1) =  \frac{ - coeff. \: of \: x}{coeff. \: of \: y}

m1=  \frac{ - 3}{1}

Therefore, m= -3

Now, As per the condition of perpendicular lines;

M1*M2 = -1

-3*M2 = -1

M2= -1/-3

Therefore, the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the equation is; 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1 mile = $0.45 and you want to find out 827.4 miles

you should multiple $0.45 × 872.4

1 mile : $0.45

827.4 × $0.45 = 372330

827.4 : $372.330

The second of 2 numbers is 5 more than twice the first. Their sum is 29. Find the numbers. (With steps)
hodyreva [135]
So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
