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:

8,275,842 digits

Step-by-step explanation:

One more than the floor of the logarithm to the base 37 gives the number of digits. The change of base formula can be used.

$\log_{37}{(2^{43112609}-1)}\approx\dfrac{43112609\log{2}}{\log{37}}\approx 8275841.2$

Expressed in the base-37 number system, P has 8275842 digits.

Please Help Me Asap I Need Units Too

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

Let's take this problem step by step:

To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope:

⇒ the x-values are the number of sodas

⇒ the y-values are the total costs

⇒ choose two sets of coordinates and find the slope

Let's put that into action

Choose any two points

⇒ (24, 18)

⇒ (28, 21)

Calculate Slope

$Rate_.of_.change = \frac{21-18}{28-24} =\frac{3}{4}$

Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas

⇒ unit is 'total cost/number of sodas'

Answer: 3/4 total cost/number of sodas

Hope that helps!

Perform the indicated computation. Write the answer in scientific notation. 12x10^4\3x10^−2

Paul [167]

Let us consider the given expression:

$\frac{12 \times 10^{4}}{3 \times 10^{-2}}$ in the scientific notation.

= $\frac{12 \times 10^{4} \times 10^{2}}{3 }$

[Using the law of exponents, which states

$a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n}$ ]

= $\frac{12 \times 10^{6}}{3}$

On dividing, we get

= $4 \times 10^{6}$

Hence, it is the required scientific notation of the given expression.
