The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

<h3>What is the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope values of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

Given that the line is perpendicular to y = 4/5x+23, the slope of y = 4/5x+23 is 4/5. Negative reciprocal of 4/5 is -5/4.

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would have a slope (m) of -5/4.

Plug in m = -5/4 and (x, y) = (-40, 20) into y = mx + b to find b:

20 = -5/4(-40) + b

20 = 50 + b

20 - 50 = b

b = -30

Substitute m = -5/4 and b = -30 into y = mx + b:

y = -5/4x - 30

The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two points of (5, 11) and (-5, -1).

Use the slope formula.

m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{-1-11}{-5-5}  =\frac{-12}{-10} =\boxed{\frac{6}{5}}

The correct option should be Option D.

Hope this helps you.

Caroline rolls a fair dice 480 times. How many times would Caroline expect to roll a six?
Gnom [1K]
A fair die has 6 sides so a 1/6 chance for each number
So divide 480/6= 80
80 times for each number, 80 for 6

A certain organization recommends the use of passwords with the following​ format: vowel commavowel, consonant comma consonant c
zimovet [89]

The password format is = inpray93

vowel , consonant, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant, number, number.

There are 21 consonants, 5 vowels and 10 number choices (0-9)

Since, there are 21 consonants and repetition is allowed so for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th positions 21 choices are available. For 1st and 5th positions, 5 choices  are available and for 7th and 8th position there are 10 choices (0 to 9).

Passwords are not case sensitive which means upper case and lower case letters are same.

So, the number of passwords can be =

5\times21\times21\times21\times5\times21\times10\times10

= 486202500

Part (b) question is not given. But it can be opposite to the first part i.e when the password letters are case sensitive.

This means all the letters are different.

So, number of passwords will be =

10\times42\times42\times42\times10\times42\times10\times10

= 31116960000
