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

Mathematics
1 answer:
drek231 [11]3 years ago
4 0

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

Given rs || qp, what is the value of x?
myrzilka [38]

In the given figure,

Angle 108° + 12x = 180°

because they for pair of co- interior angles which are supplementary.

so,

  • 12x + 108\degree = 180\degree

  • 12x = 180\degree - 108\degree

  • 12x = 72\degree

  • x =  \dfrac{72\degree}{12}

  • x = 6\degree

hence , value of x = 6°

How long would it take to double your principal in an account that pays 6.5% annual interest compounded continuously? round your
prisoha [69]
It would take 10.7 years.

The formula for continuously compounded interest is:
A=Pe^{rt}
where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, and t is the number of years.

Using our information we have:
A=Pe^{0.065t}

We want to know when it will double the principal; therefore we substitute 2P for A and solve for t:
2P=Pe^{0.065t}

Divide both sides by P:
\frac{2P}{P}=\frac{Pe^{0.065t}}{P}
\\
\\2=e^{0.065t}

Take the natural log, ln, of each side to "undo" e:
\ln{2}=\ln{e^{0.065t}}
\\
\\0.6931471806=0.065t

Divide both sides by 0.065:
\frac{0.6931471806}{0.065}=\frac{0.065t}{0.065}
\\
\\10.7\approx t

Solve for x in the equation C = 8.5x + 6y. Show all work.
GarryVolchara [31]
C = 8.5x + 6y

Rearrange the equation by making the side with x, be on the Left Hand Side (LHS)

8.5x + 6y = C

Subtract 6y from both sides of the equation

8.5x + 6y - 6y = C - 6y

8.5x = C - 6y

Divide both sides of the equation by 8.5

(8.5x/8.5) = (C - 6y)/8.5

x =  (C - 6y)/8.5

I hope this helped.
