The x-intercept would be (6,0)
The y has to be negative but the x positive. So that leaves only (3,-4)
The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:
y = 3*x - 6
<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>
A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = m*x + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.
Rewriting the given line we can get:
x +3y = 21
3y = 21 - x
y = 21/3 - x/3
y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3
Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:
m*(-1/3) = -1
m = 3
our line is:
y = 3*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)
-3 = 3*1 + b
-3 - 3 = b
-6 = b
The line is y = 3*x - 6

Answer:
35 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex has 9 friends and wants to invite 5 friends. Since Alex requires two of his friends who are twins to come together to his birthday party, since the two of them form a group, the number of ways we can select the two of them to form a group of two is ²C₂ = 1 way.
Since we have removed two out of the nine friends, we are left with 7 friends. Also, two friends are already selected, so we are left with space for 3 friends. So, the number of ways we can select a group of 3 friends out of 7 is ⁷C₃ = 7 × 6 × 5/3! = 35 ways.
So, the total number ways we can select 5 friend out of 9 to party come to the birthday include two friends is ²C₂ × ⁷C₃ = 1 × 35 = 35 ways
