Answer:

a = \frac{-1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line in the form .

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept .

As given

The lines y=3x-1 and y=ax+2 are perpendicular .

Here 3 is slope for equation of line  y=3x-1 and a is slope for equation of line

y=ax+2 .

Now by using properties of the perpendicular lines property .

When two lines are perpendicular than slope of one line is negative reciprocal of the other line .

Thus

a = \frac{-1}{3}

Therefore a = \frac{-1}{3}.

To find the perpendicular slope, you find the reciprocal  of the slope (in this case, 1/3) and multiply that by -1 (in this case, it gets -1/3)

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Let t be the number of ten dollar bills.

o×6+5=t

If you need it without t, then it's:

o×6+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the number of ten dollar bills.

o×6+5=t

We get this because the question said that there were more ten-dollar bills than 6 times the number of one-dollar bills.

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18\,\dfrac{\text{L}}{\text{min}}18 min L ​ 18, start fraction, start text, L, end text, divided
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Uche's pumping rate is <u>300 mL/s</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 L/min.

Now, to find Uche's pumping rate in mL/s.

The rate at which Uche pumps gasoline = 18 L/min.

So, to get the pumping rate in mL/s we use convert L/min to mL/s by using conversion factor:

<u>1 L/min = 16.6667 mL/s.</u>

18 L/min = 16.6667 × 18 mL/s.

18L/min = 300 mL/s.

Therefore, Uche's pumping rate is 300 mL/s.
