Answer:

y=-1/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Get slope of the line first (to find slope that is perpendicular, get the negative reciprocal)

4 turns into -1/4

To get the y-intercept, plug in the given coordinate values into this formula:

y=mx+b

3=-3(-1/4)+b

3-3/4=b

b=9/4

b is our y-intercept

9/4 is our y-intercept

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = 4 + x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{1}x+4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}slope-intercept~form\\\cline{1-1}\\y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}}\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}

so therefore

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{1\implies\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{1}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and passes through (-3 , 3)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y-3=-(x+3)\implies y-3 = -x-3\implies y = -x

A heap of grain is shaped as a cone ADCF with height 5 m and base radius 2 m, as shown on the diagram. A and C are points on the
hoa [83]

Answer:

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The area of the base of the cone ≈ 12.57 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the cone = 5 m

The base radius of the cone  = 2 m

The angle which the A\hat OC = 120°

Therefore, we have;

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = The angle between [CF]  and the base of the cone

The angle between [CF]  and the base of the cone = tan⁻¹(5/2) = tan⁻¹(2.5) ≈ 68.2°  

∴ The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = The angle between [CF]  and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The area of the base of the cone = π × r² = π × 2² = 4·π ≈ 12.57

The area of the base of the cone ≈ 12.57 m².

Which number line repersents the sum of 1.25+(-0.75
aleksklad [387]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't give the options relating to the question.

To solve this first, you need to know that we have to note that (+) × (-) = (-). Therefore, 1.25+(-0.75) will be thesame as writing 1.25 - 0.75. This will then be:

= 1.25 - 0.75

= 0.50

If f(x) = 2x² + 5, then what is the remainder when f (x) is divided by x – 10?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 10 = 0

x = 10

f(10) = 2*10² + 5 = 2*100 + 5 = 200 + 5

      = 205

Remainder = 205

A friend of yours, a senior, took the Graduate Record Exam in September and scored in the 99th percentile. In February, your fri
soldi70 [24.7K]

His/her lowered score was most likely due to statistical regression.

<h3>How to determine the reason?</h3>

The missing options in the question are:

A. compensation rivalry  B. Demoralization C.  Differential selection

D.  Testing E.  Statistical regression

From the question, we have:

  • September = 99th percentile
  • February = 90th percentile

A change (whether higher or lower) in the score is caused by statistical regression.

This is so because several variables could attribute to the change in the score.

The relationship between these variables is referred to as statistical regression
