A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 6. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. The paths will intersect at the point (-3,3). Identify the equation that represents the new path 10- 20 10​

The equation of the new path would be y=1/3x+4.

Explanation

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.  The original equation is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope.  In this equation, m=-3=-3/1.

In the new equation, the slope would be the opposite sign and flipped; this means it would be 1/3.

We can use the point given, the slope and slope-intercept form to write the equation of the new line:

y=mx+b

3=1/3(-3)+b

3=1/3(-3/1)+b

3=(-3/3)+b

3=-1+b

Add 1 to both sides:

3+1=-1+b+1

4=b

This makes the equation y=1/3x+4.

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces

mindy ate 3 so troy ate 6

6= (1/4)x

x =24
