Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have their slope <u>negative reciprocal</u>

y= -3x +3 has the slope -3

y = (1/3)x +b is the line that is ⊥ so it has the slope (1/3)

The line passes trough the point (x=-2, y=8) so substitute the x and y to find b

8 = (1/3)(-2) +b, multiply (1/3)(-2) = -2/3 and add 2/3 on both sides

8+(2/3) = b, find the common denominator and add the fractions

[(3*8)+2 ]/3 =b

(26/3)  = b

The equation of the line described is y= (1/3)x +(26/3)

Answer:

y = mx + b

Since it is perpendicular to the given line, its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Slope of given line:

m0 = -a/b = -(-3) / (1) = 3

Slope of perpendicular line:

m = -1/3

y = (-1/3)x + b

Use the given point to find b.

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

2 = -1 + b

b = 3

y = (-1/3)x + 3

3х – 8y = 34<br> 7х + 4у = -34<br> Solve by elimination <br> Y and x<br> Please show steps ):
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The answer would be (-2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8y= 34

2(7x + 4y = -34)

3x - 8y=34

14x + 8y= -68

----------------------

     17x= -34    divided by 17

       x = -2

3(-2) -8y= 34

-6 -8y =34 add 6

   -8y= 40  divide by -8

      y = -5

if you want to check the answer replacing -2 for x and -5 for y

7(-2) + 4(-5)= -34

-14 + (-20) = -34

-34 = -34

I hope this help sorry I'm not good explaining

The volume of a cone is 62.8 cubic inches. The height of the cone is 15 inches. What is the radius of the cone, rounded to the n
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

R = sqrt 3 * (V /( pi * h))

V = 62.8

pi = 3.14

h = 15

now we sub

R = sqrt 3 * (62.8 / (3.14 * 15)

R = sqrt 3 * (62.6 / 47.1)

R = sqrt 3 * 1.33

R = sqrt 3.99

R = 1.9 rounds to 2 inches <===

A pattern is made by toothpick squares. Select the series that represents the number of toothpicks added to a picture to get the
lorasvet [3.4K]
The answer is, 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 ... rule is 4n.

Explanation:

one square has 4 toothpicks, then you added 4 picks (because you started with zero squares).

4 squares have 12 toothpicks, then you added 8 toothpicks to pass from one square to 4 squeres.

If you follow that reasoing you get to realize that the additions are 4, 8, 12, 16.

Find the values of X and Y that makes these triangles congruent by the HL theorem
muminat

Answer:

C. x = 3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.

Thus:

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse

Also,

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs

✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)

(y + 1) + 3 = 3y

y + 1 + 3 = 3y

y + 4 = 3y

y + 4 - y = 3y - y

4 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2

4/2 = 2y/2

2 = y

y = 2

✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)

x = 2 + 1

x = 3
