Answer:

y = -1/4x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 5

The slope of this is 4 so the slope of line perpendicular to this line = -1/4.

Using the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1):

y - (-1) = -1/4(x - 0)

y + 1 = -1/4x

y = -1/4x - 1.

Is the relation a function? <br><br> {( 1, 12), (3, 14), (14, 3), (5, 12)}<br><br> yes or no

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes because each value of x maps to a single value of y.

THere is a many-to-one relation with (1, 12) and (5, 12) but that is OK for a function. What would not be OK is if we had a one-to-many relation like (1, 12) and (1, 14) included in the ordered pairs - that is not a function.

Answer:

Girl's basketball team has more seniors

Step-by-step explanation:

A varsity boy's basketball team has ratio of seniors to juniors that is 7:4.

Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in boy's basketball team.

ATQ,

7x+4x = 12

11x = 12

x = 12/11

Seniors = $7\times \dfrac{12}{11}=7.63$

The varsity girl's basketball team has a ratio of seniors to juniors that is 3 to 2.

Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in girl's basketball team.

3x+2x = 12

5x = 12

x = 12/5

Seniors = $7\times \dfrac{12}{5}=16.8$

As we can see that girl's basketball team has more seniors as compared to the boy's team.
