What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y + 1 = -3(x - 5) and passes through the point (4, -6)?

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 1 = -3x + 15

y = -3x + 14

A line perpendicular would have a slope of 1/3.

y = 1/3x + c

-6 = 1/3 * 4 + c

4/3 + c = -6

c = -18/3 - 4/3

c = -22/3

So, we have y = 1/3x - 22/3.

y + 6 = 1/3(x - 4)

y + 6 = 1/3x - 4/3

y = 1/3x - 4/3 - 18/3

y = 1/3x - 22/3

So, the correct answer is Option A.

Hope this helps!

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
