Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 4 that passes through the point (3, 4).
a) y = 3x - 5
b) y = 3x + 5
c) y = 1 3 x + 5
d) y = - 1 3 x + 5

The correct answer option is D. .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the equation of a line which is perpendicular to the following line and passes through the point (3, 4):

We know that an equation perpendicular to another equation has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the first equation.

So our required slope is

Finding the y-intercept:

Therefore, the equation of the line perpendicular to and passing through the point (3, 4) is .

(D)  y= -1/3 x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have gradients that multiply to give -1

Equation given, y=3x+4

gradient m₁=3

Finding m₂ we know m₁×m₂= -1

Thus m₁×m₂=-1 ⇒ 3×m₂=-1

m₂= -1/3

Equation of new line passing through points (3,4) with gradient m₂=-1/3 will be;

Δy/Δx =m₂

(y-4)/(x-3) = - 1/3

3(y-4)= -1(x-3)

3y-12= -x+3

3y=-x+3+12

3y/3= -x/3 + 15/3

y= -1/3 x +5

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day

add the numbers under frequency to find the total number:

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25

the answer is 25.
