Answer:

y = 1/3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x+2 is in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -3

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/-3 = 1/3

The equation of the new line is

y = 1/3x +b

Using the point that passes through the line ( 6,8) and substituting in for x and y

8 = 1/3(6) +b

8 = 2+b

8-2 =b

6 =b

The equation becomes

y = 1/3x+6

Need to find Value of x

Pie

180 = 3x + 5x + 2x +5
180 = 10x + 5
175 = 10x
x = 17.5

180 is how many degrees in a triangle

The length of a rectangle is 18 centimeters less than five times it's width. It's area is 35 square centimeters. I need to find

Fiesta28 [93]

$\frac{(5x-18)(x)}{2} =35$
$(5x-18)(x)=70$
$5x^2-18x-70=0$
By the time you factorize this, you will get
x = 5.9521078984053 or -2.3521078984053
Please mark me as brainliest.

What is the coefficient of the variable in the expression 6-4x-8x+2

Daniel [21]

I think the trick is to add the two middle terms together. (And the 2 end terms).

8 - 12x

The variable is x. The coefficient is - 12.

8 is a constant.

The coefficient always goes with a variable.

3x^2 + 2x + 5

Nothing can be combined. The leading coefficient is 3 (which goes with the greatest power of the variable x^2 in this case) and the other coefficient is 2. 5 is a constant.
