A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 6. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. The paths will intersect at the point (-3,3). Identify the equation that represents the new path 10- 20 10​

The equation of the new path would be y=1/3x+4.

Explanation

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.  The original equation is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope.  In this equation, m=-3=-3/1.

In the new equation, the slope would be the opposite sign and flipped; this means it would be 1/3.

We can use the point given, the slope and slope-intercept form to write the equation of the new line:

y=mx+b

3=1/3(-3)+b

3=1/3(-3/1)+b

3=(-3/3)+b

3=-1+b

Add 1 to both sides:

3+1=-1+b+1

4=b

This makes the equation y=1/3x+4.

nope

step-by-step explanation:

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
