3 0

Answer:

3600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

person A has 7 places to choose from :

→ He has 2 places ,one to the extreme left of the line ,the other to the extreme right of the line

If he chose one of those two ,person B will have 5 choices and the other 5 persons will have 5! Choices.

⇒ number of arrangements = 2×5×5! = 1 200

→ But Person A also , can choose one of the 5 places in between the two extremes .

If he chose one of those 5 ,person B will have 4 choices and the other 5 persons wil have 5! Choices.

⇒ number of arrangements = 5×4×5! = 2 400

In Total they can be arranged in :

1200 + 2400 = 3600 ways

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is
mezya [45]

Answer:

The slope of the other line is -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the line ;

10x - 8y = -80

The first thing to do here is to write the equation in the standard form for a linear equation.

The standard form is y = mx + c where m refers to the slope and c refers to the y-intercept

Rewriting the equation we have;

8y-80 = 10x

8y = 10x + 80

Now divide the through by 8

We have;

y = 10x/8 + 10

Thus, comparing with y = mx + c , our m here is 10/8

Now for the two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slope would be equals to -1

Let’s say the slopes are m1 and m2

mathematically m1m2 = -1

since m1 = 10/8

10m2/8 = -1

m2 = -8/10

m2 = -4/5
