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

Devide 60 in the ratio of 2:3​
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Let the amounts be 2x and 3x.

Then 2x+3x=60

So, 5x=60

So, x=60/5=12

So, amounts are

2x=2*12=24

And 3x=3*12=36

Hope this helps you!

The sum of the digits of a certain two-digit number is 7. Reversing its digits increase the number by 9. What is the number?
Elis [28]
Let the two numbers be x and y.

According to your question;

x + y = 7
10y + x = 10x + y + 9

By equation 1 ; x = 7-y

Substituting the value of x ;

10y + ( 7 -y) = 10(7-y) + y + 9

9y + 7 = 70 -10y + y + 9

9y + 7 = 70 - 9y + 9

=> 18y = 70 -7 + 9
=> 18y = 72
=> y = 4

Substituting for x ;

x = 7 - y
=> x = 7 -4
=> x = 3

Thus, x = 3 and y = 4;
=> The number is 34.
