Answer:

y = 1/3 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is

(4 - (-2) / 2 - 4)

=   -3.

So the slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / (-3) = 1/3.

This line also passes through the point (3, 1) so its equation is ( by the point-slope form):

y - 1 = 1/3(x - 3)

y - 1 = 1/3x - 1

y = 1/3 x (answer).

hope that help you mark me brinilylist

A right triangle has side lengths 5, 12, and 13 as shown below. Use these lengths to find tan B, sinB, and cos B. (marking brain
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

tan B =  12 /5

sin B =  12/13

cos B =  5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan B = opp/ adj = 12 /5

sin B = opp/hyp = 12/13

cos B = adj/hyp = 5/13

Ainat [17]

Answer:

2.7 hours or 2 hrs, 42 min

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the total number of sentences remaining we can multiply 130 sentences times 20 pages remaining to get

2,600 sentences

if we divide that number by 16 we'll get the number of minutes he needs to finish the novel

2600/16 = 162.5 minutes which, when divided by 60, is 2 7/10 hours

7/10 = 42/60 so it comes out to 2.7 hours or 2 hrs, 42 min
