Answer:

y= -3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -2x + 6y = -4 into slope-interceltp form

Take the negative reciprocal of the slope.

Use this reciprocal in point-slope form

and you have,

= y= -3x + 8

<em>(EDITED)</em> Steps:

2x+6y = -4

6y=2x - 4

y= 1/3x + 2/3

if two lines are perpendicular,

m1 * m2 + -1

1/3 * m2 = -1

m2 = -3

the line perpendicular to this line is

y = -3x + k ; k ∈ R

the line passes through the point (5,-7)

so,

-7 = -3. (5) +k

-7 = -15 + k

k = 8

∴the equation of a line that passes through the point (5,-7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x+6y=-4 is

y= -3x + 8

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

How can we use ratios and proportional relationships to help us in our daily lives?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

In cooking (recipes).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the serving size for a recipe is not adequate for the number of people you are serving, you will have to convert the amounts(measurements) of the ingredients to suit your needs. You will do this by first creating a ratio defining the relationship between the serving size of the given recipe to the number of people needed to be served. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people, and you need to serve 8, your ratio would simplify to 1/2. This means you must proportionally relate this ratio to the individual amounts of each ingredient.
