<h3>Answer:</h3>

y=1/2x

<h3>Solution:</h3>
  • The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.
  • The simplest way to determine a number's reciprocal is to flip it over, like so:
  • -2 ~ - > -\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}
  • Now, change the sign:
  • \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}
  • So we have the <em>slope </em>of the line that's <em>perpendicular </em>to the given line.
  • Now, let's find the line's equation.
  • First, let's write it in Point-Slope Form:
  • y-y1=m(x-x1)
  • y-(-2)=1/2(x-4)
  • y+2=1/2x-2 (Point slope)
  • Now, convert to slope-intercept:
  • y=1/2x+2-2
  • y=1/2x

Hope it helps.

List three ways o express 3 to the 5 power as a product of powers
tia_tia [17]
3 ways to express 3 to the 5th power as the product of powers First expression => 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 - In this expression, we multiplied 3 5 times and the product is 243 Second expression => 3 ^ 5, in where ^ read as raised to the power, the product is also 243 Third expression => 3^2 x 3^3 => (3 x 3) x (3 x 3 x 3) => 9 x 27, the product also equals to 243.

The probability that an egg on a production line is cracked is 0.01. Two eggs are selected at random from the production line. F
musickatia [10]

Answer:

P(X \geq 1)=1-P(X

P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of craked eggs", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=2, p=0.01)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

And we want to find this probability:

P(x \geq 1)=1-P(X

And we can find the probability:

P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199
