Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y=2x-6 that passes through the point (1,5). If possible, write the equation in slope-intercept form.

y = - x +

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 = 2x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

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

= - = - , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - + c ⇒ c = 5 + =

y = - x + ← equation of perpendicular line

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17
