B. y = –13x + 17
C. x + 3y = 27
D. y – 2 = 13(3x + 36)

Respuesta :

Answer:

the answer should be C

Step-by-step explanation:

the gradient of C is -1/3 that perpendicular to the question

Answer:

Option C - x + 3y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which lines are perpendicular to  [tex]3x-y = 10[/tex] ? Select all that apply.

Solution :

We know that,

When two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slope is -1.

The slope is given by [tex]y=mx+c[/tex] where, m is the slope.

So, the slope of the given equation  [tex]3x-y = 10[/tex]  is

[tex]y=3x-10[/tex]

Slope is [tex]m_1=3[/tex].

Now find slope of others lines,

A) [tex]y=3x+5[/tex]

Slope is [tex]m_2=3[/tex]

Product of the slope is [tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]3\times 3=-1[/tex]

[tex]9\neq -1[/tex]

No, this line is not perpendicular to given line.

B) [tex]y=-13x+17[/tex]

Slope is [tex]m_2=-13[/tex]

Product of the slope is [tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]3\times -13=-1[/tex]

[tex]-39\neq -1[/tex]

No, this line is not perpendicular to given line.

C) [tex]x+3y=27[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x+9[/tex]

Slope is [tex]m_2=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Product of the slope is [tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]3\times -\frac{1}{3}=-1[/tex]

[tex]-1= -1[/tex]

Yes, this line is perpendicular to given line.

D) [tex]y-2=13(3x+36)[/tex]

[tex]y=39x+468+2[/tex]

[tex]y=39x+470[/tex]

Slope is [tex]m_2=39[/tex]

Product of the slope is [tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]3\times 39=-1[/tex]

[tex]117\neq -1[/tex]

No, this line is not perpendicular to given line.

Therefore, option C is correct.
