Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Always do parentheses first!
-4x+9=-5x
8x-2x=6x
-5x-6x+3=
x+3=4
The answer is -3/2 lmk if you need an explanation :)
The perpendicular line will have an equation of y=3/4x-3/4
To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.
8x + 6y = -5 ----> subtract 8x
6y = -8x + -5 ----> divide by 6
y = -4/3x - 5/6.
So we know the slope of this equation to be -4/3. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of 3/4. Since B is the only option with that slope, we know it to be the correct answer.
Answer:
y = - 
x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 3x - y = 9 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides
- y = - 3x + 9 ( divide all terms by - 1 )
y = 3x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= - 
= - , thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 6) into the partial equation
6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8
y = - x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line
