What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -3) and is perpendicular to the line x + 3y = 24?

First, we must convert x + 3y = 24 from standard to slope-intercept form*.

The equation in slope-intercept form is .

Since the equation of the line to be found is perpendicular to the above equation, and passes through the given point, we do the opposite-reciprocal of the current slope and plug in the given point to set up the new equation.

New slope = -2

Y-intercept = -9

New equation: y = -2x - 9

answ9x x 3=

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
