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)
Given:
The product of a particular number is 65.
Second value is given by the sum of 8 and the original number.
To find:
The unknown number.
Solution:
Let x be the unknown number.
Then, second number = x+8
The product of a particular number is 65.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Using zero product property, we get
and
and
So, the unknown number is either 5 or -13.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We remove the bracket and rearrange the numbers to add them. Only similar variables can be added together.
