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

The random variable X~(30,2^2) <br> Find p(X&lt;33) <br> Find p(X&gt;26)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

i) P(X<33)  = 0.9232

ii) P(X>26) = 0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that the mean of the Population = 30

Given that the standard deviation of the Population = 4

Let 'X' be the Normal distribution

<u>Step(ii):-</u>

i)

Given that the random variable  X = 33

               Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}

               Z = \frac{33-30}{2} = 1.5 >0

P(X<33) = P( Z<1.5)

              = 1- P(Z>1.5)

             = 1 - ( 0.5 - A(1.5))

             = 0.5 + 0.4232

  P(X<33)  = 0.9232

<u>Step(iii) :-</u>

Given that the random variable  X = 26

               Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}

               Z = \frac{33-26}{2} = 3.5 >0

P(X>26)  = P( Z>3.5)

              = 0.5 - A(3.5)

              = 0.5 - 0.4990

             = 0.001

P(X>26) = 0.001

-2.7f + 0.3f - 16 - 4=
suter [353]

Answer:

-2.4f or -8 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what should be at the end of the equal sign but if it is to simplify it would be -2.4f-20

If you want to solve then you get -2.4f=20 so f=-20/2.4 which equal to -8 1/3

How many square feet are in 100 m squared
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

100 Sq Mt = 1135.69 Sq Ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find how many square feet are in 100 m squared.

1 meter = 3.37 ft

1 metre x 1 meter = 3.37 x 3.37 Sq ft

1 Sq Mt = 11.3569 Sq ft

100 sq Mt = 100 x 11.3569 sq ft

100 sq mt = 1135.69 Sq ft

Hence

100 Sq Mt = 1135.69 Sq Ft

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6)
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6) is -13/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line based on two points.

m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

Substitute the values

m = -6 - 7/2 - (-3)

Simplify.

m = -13/5

The slope of this line is -13/5.
