Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (-9,-17).

Y=9x-4

y = -1/9x -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = 9x-4

This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b where m is the slope)

The slope is 9

We want a line that is perpendicular

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

Let m be the slope of the perpendicular line

m*9 = -1

Divide each side by 9

m = -1/9

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/9

Using the slope intercept form

y = mx+b

y = -1/9 x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

-17 = -1/9(-9) +b

-17 = 1+b

Subtract 1 from each side

-17-1 =1-1+b

b= -18

The equation is

y = -1/9x -18

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p
