What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y= 1/3 x - 2

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

slope = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } = - 3

Answer: Choice D

b greater-than 3 and StartFraction 2 over 15 EndFraction

In other words,

b > 3 & 2/15

or

b > 3\frac{2}{15}\\\\

========================================================

Explanation:

Let's convert the mixed number 2 & 3/5 into an improper fraction.

We'll use the rule

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

In this case, a = 2, b = 3, c = 5

So,

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

2 & 3/5 = (2*5 + 3)/5

2 & 3/5 = (10 + 3)/5

2 & 3/5 = 13/5

The inequality 2 \frac{3}{5} < b - \frac{8}{15}\\\\ is the same as \frac{13}{5} < b - \frac{8}{15}\\\\

---------------------

Let's multiply both sides by 15 to clear out the fractions

\frac{13}{5} < b - \frac{8}{15}\\\\15*\frac{13}{5} < 15*\left(b - \frac{8}{15}\right)\\\\39 < 15b-8\\\\

---------------------

Now isolate the variable b

39 < 15b-8\\\\15b-8 > 39\\\\15b > 39+8\\\\15b > 47\\\\b > \frac{47}{15}\\\\b > \frac{45+2}{15}\\\\b > \frac{45}{15}+\frac{2}{15}\\\\b > 3+\frac{2}{15}\\\\b > 3\frac{2}{15}\\\\

Side note: Another way to go from 47/15 to 3 & 2/15 is to notice how

47/15 = 3 remainder 2

The 3 is the whole part while 2 helps form the fractional part. The denominator stays at 15 the whole time.
