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

Mathematics

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

Nitella [24]

Answer:

a)10

b)5120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that number of ants double after every ten days, form a table that shows numbe of ants from day 1 to day 91

Day Number of Ants

1 10

11 20

21 40

31 80

41 160

51 320-----------------given

61 640------------------given

71 1280----------------given

81 2560

91 5120

Using the given values for number of ants and the number of days, you can notice the trend for values of days and number of ants.After every ten days, number of ants doubles.Using this information, you can navigate backwards up to day 1 and forward up to day 91

Two adults and 9 students cost $50 to attend

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The cost of tickets for a play is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for children. 350 tickets were sold and $950 was collected. How many tickets of each type were sold?

Let x = number of $3 tickets

Let y = number of $2 tickets

Total = quantity × value

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 350 (equation 1)

3x + 2y = 950 (equation 2)

Use Substitution Method

Isolate variable x in equation 1

x = 350 – y (equation 3)

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

3(350 – y) + 2y = 950

1050 – 3y + 2y = 950

3y – 2y = 1050 – 950

y = 100

Substitute y = 100 into equation 1

x + 100 = 350

x = 250

Answer: 250 $3 tickets and 100 $2 tickets were sold.

Solve the following pair of equations simultaneously.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

No solutions.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Solving systems of equations by graphing
Expanding
Finding roots of a quadratic
Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

2x - y = 9

4x² + 3y² - 2x + y = 16

Step 2: Rewrite systems

2x - y = 9

Subtract 2x on both sides: -y = 9 - 2x
Divide -1 on both sides: y = 2x - 9

Step 3: Redefine systems

y = 2x - 9

4x² + 3y² - 2x + y = 16

Step 4: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y: 4x² + 3(2x - 9)² - 2x + (2x - 9) = 16
Expand: 4x² + 3(4x² - 36x + 81) - 2x + (2x - 9) = 16
Distribute 3: 4x² + 12x² - 108x + 243 - 2x + 2x - 9 = 16
Combine like terms: 16x² - 108x + 234 = 16
Factor GCF: 2(8x² - 54x + 117) = 16
Divide 2 on both sides: 8x² - 54x + 117 = 8
Subtract 8 on both sides: 8x² - 54x + 109 = 0
Define variables: a = 8, b = -54, c = 109
Resubstitute: $x=\frac{54\pm\sqrt{(-54)^2-4(8)(109)} }{2(8)}$
Exponents: $x=\frac{54\pm\sqrt{2916-4(8)(109)} }{2(8)}$
Multiply: $x=\frac{54\pm\sqrt{2916-3488} }{16}$
Subtract: $x=\frac{54\pm\sqrt{-572} }{16}$

Here we see that we start to delve into imaginary roots. Since on a real number plane, we do not have imaginary roots, there would be no solution to the systems of equations.

Step 5: Graph systems

We can verify our results.
