Answer:
y = (1/3)x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The general structure form of a line in slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite-signed, reciprocal of the original line's slope. Therefore, if the slope of the original line is m = -3, the new slope is m = 1/3.
The y-intercept can be found by plugging the new slope and the values from the point (-3, 6) into the slope-intercept form equation.
m = 1/3
x = -3
y = 6
y = mx + b <----- Slope-intercept form
6 = (-3)(1/3) + b <----- Insert values
6 = -1 + b <----- Multiply -3 and 1/3
7 = b <----- Add 1 to both sides
Now, that you have the slope and y-intercept, you can construct the equation of the perpendicular line.
y = (1/3)x + 7
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) equals 3x-7 and also equals 23, then you can set 3x-7 equal to 23
3x - 7 = 23
3x = 30
x = 10
Answer:
18° and 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the measure of one angle then the other is 3x + 18
The sum of the 2 complementary angles = 90°, hence
x + 3x + 18 = 90
4x + 18 = 90 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 18
the 2 angles are 18° and (3 × 18 ) + 18 = 72°
