We have a line y = 1/3x -6

We want a line that is perpendicular to this line

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

1/3 * m = -1

3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3

m = -3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -3

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x+b

We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)

Substitute this point into the equation

-23 = -3(7)+b

-23 = -21+b

Add 21 to each side

-23+21 = -21+21+b

-2 = b

y = -3x-2

In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is

y = -3x-2

Find an equation for the line perpendicular to 2x+ 6y = 30 and goes through the point (6,2)
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

y = 3x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x + 6y = 30

We can use two formulas for this question, either

y = mx + c. Or

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Step 1: calculate the slope

From the equation given

2x + 6y = 30

Make y the subject of the formula

6y = 30 - 2x

Or

6y = -2x + 30

Divide both sides by 6, to get y

6y/6 = ( -2x + 30)/6

y = (-2x + 30)/6

Separate them in order to get the slope

y = -2x/6 + 30/6

y = -1x/3 + 5

y = -x/3 + 5

Slope = -1/3

Step 2:

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, both are negative reciprocal of each other

Perpendicular slope = 3/1

Substitute the slope into the equation

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

Step 3: substitute the point into the equation

( 6,2)

x = 6

y = 2

2 = 3(6) + c

2 = 18 + c

Make the c the subject

2 - 18 =c

c = 2 - 18

c = -16

Step 4: sub the value of c into the equation

y = 3x + c

y = 3x - 16

The equation of the line is

y = 3x - 16

If you try out the other formula, u will get the same answer

One of the angles in an intersecting line mesures 30
asambeis [7]

Think of the point, P,  where the lines intersect as the center of a circle.  The four angles with vertex P add up to 360 degrees.  The given angle and its paired vertical angle are both 30 degrees.  So, the other two angles are also vertical angles with sum 300 degrees (so each of them is a 150 degree angle).

Now suppose that bigger cups are ordered and the machine’s mean amount dispensed is set at μ=12. Assuming we can precisely adjus
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 12.

Assuming we can precisely adjust σ, what should we set σtobe so that the actual amount dispensed is between 11 and 13 ounces, 95% of the time?

13 should be 2 standard deviations above the mean of 12, and 11 should be two standard deviations below the mean.

So 1 should be worth two standard deviations. Then

2\sigma = 1

\sigma = \frac{1}{2}

\sigma = 0.5

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION FOR MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kozerog [31]

Answer:

MON = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

LOM + MON = 180°

In other words

4z + 30° + 8z + 90 = 180°

12z + 120 = 180

60 = 12z

z = 5

5 x 8 = 40 + 90 = 130°
