Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
The line y = 3x - 2 has slope 3.
The perpendicular line has slope -1/3.
Now we find the equation of the line that has slope -1/3 and passes through (-9, 5).
y = mx + b
y = -1/3x + b
5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b
5 = 3 + b
b = 2
The equation of the perpendicular is
y = -1/3x + 2
X=6 you need to multiply by 2
Malia : y = 8.1x.....this tells me she makes 8.10 per hr worked
Bill : if he earned 144.90 for working 18 hrs.....144.90/18 = 8.05 per hr worked.
so Malia makes 5 cents more per hr worked.
Is that the answer ur looking for ?
