Answer: y = -2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a perpenducular line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line, in this case x - 2y = 6.

Let's put this equation into standard slope-intercept form, y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0).

x - 2y = 6

- 2y = 6 - x

y = (1/2) x -3

The slope is (1/2), so a perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.

y = -2x + b

We can find b by using the given point ((-3,-1), a known solution):

-1 = -2*(-3) + b

-1 = 6 + b

b = -7

The perpendicular equation is y = -2x - 7

y = -2x

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

186.45 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Side lenght of cube block= 8cm

Radius of cylindrical hole= 3.6cm

Volume of entire Shape= l^3

Volume of entire Shape= 8*8*8

Volume of entire block= 512cm^3

Volume of cylindrical hole= πr^2h

Volume of cylindrical hole= 3.14*3.6^2*8

Volume of cylindrical hole= 3.14*12.96*8

Volume of cylindrical hole= 325.55cm^3

Hence the volume of the block

=volume of entire shape- volume of cylinder

=512-325.55

=186.45 cm^3

Identify which of the following is not equivalent to 2 3/4.
mezya [45]

The figure that is not equivalent to 2¾ is 2¼ × 2½. That is option B.

<h3>Simplification of equivalent fractions</h3>

Simplification is a process that is used to make a fraction appear in its simplest forms.

The fraction given is = 2¾

The simplification of the fraction= 2^3/4 = 2

But simplification of 2¼ × 2½ is equal to;

2¼= 0.5

2½= 1

Therefore 2¾ is not equivalent to 2¼ × 2½ when simplified.
