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

A bottle of soft drink is two thirds full. Jack drinks one quarter of the remaining soft drink. How full is the bottle now
marusya05 [52]

We know that the bottle of soft drink has a remaining volume which is 2 / 3 of the original.

Since Jack drank 1 / 4 of the remaining volume, hence only 3 / 4 now finally remains, the total is:

 

(2 / 3) * (3 / 4) = 6 / 12 = 1 / 2

 

<span>Hence the bottle is now one half full</span>

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the histogram described by the first option, the peak (18) is located at 40-50. Also, a frequency of zero is observed for range 10-20. The cluster from 20–50 means that most of the data is between this range, in fact, only 1 point is located at range 0 - 10, outside this cluster.
