Which is perpendicular to the line y=-3x-8y

I believe the answer is y = -7/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rearrange the equation, y = -3x - 8y, you will get -7y = -3x.

We want the equation to be equal to y by itself. So we divide -7 from both sides, giving us the equation y = 3/7x.

The graph that is perpendicular to y = 3/7x is it's reciprocal: y = -7/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Slope of a Perpendicular Line

y = −3x − 8y

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

Move all terms containing y to the left side of the equation.

9y = −3x

Divide each term by 9 and simplify.

y = −(x/3)

Write in y = mx + b form.

y = -(1/3)x

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is − (1/3)

m = -(1/3)

The equation of a perpendicular line to y = − (1/3)x must have a slope that is the negative  reciprocal of the original slope.

perpendicular =

Simplify the result.

perpendicular = 3

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
