keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5

well then therefore

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}

Find the equation of the line
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

y= - 1/6x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • y= 6x -2
  • and point (6, -2)

Perpendicular line has slope of reciprocal opposite to the given: - 1/6, so the equation:

  • y= -1/6x + b

Finding b using the intersected point:

  • -2= -1/6*6 +b
  • b= -2 +1= -1

So the equation is:

  • y= - 1/6x -1

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your gonna subtract the cost of the pair earrings from the total. 260-15=245, then you will divide 245 by 7. 245/7=35. So each bracelet cost's 35 each.
