Find the equation of the line described. Perpendicular to y = 3x + 6; passing through the point (4,5).
The line equation is y =

y = - x +

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c , substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - + c ⇒ c = 5 + =

y = - x + ← equation of perpendicular line

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
