Find the equation of a line that passes through (5,-3) and is perpendicular to y = x.

1 answer:

8 0

We know the slope is -1, because perpendicular line's slopes are always the negative reciprocal. We plug (5, -3) in to get:
-3 = -5 + b
b = 2
So we get C. y = -x + 2.

Yuliya22 [10]

The probability would be 39.9%

The given probability states that 39.9% of the 3 years olds are in daycare. Therefore, it would be obvious to assume that if you randomly selected a 3 year old, that would be the probability that he/she is in daycare.

If 40% of a number is 80 what is 25% of that number?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

25% of 200 is 50

Step-by-step explanation

40% of a number is 80

.40 * n = 80

Divide each side by .4

.40 n/.4 = 80/.4

n = 200

The number is 200

Now lets find 25 percent of that number

.25 * 200 = 50

Find the quadratic function that fits the following data. which one function fits.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule for the quadratic function is

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Use the data from the table:

$y(50)=130\Rightarrow 130=a\cdot 50^2+b\cdot 50+c\\ \\y(70)=130\Rightarrow 130=a\cdot 70^2+b\cdot 70+c\\ \\y(90)=200\Rightarrow 200=a\cdot 90^2+b\cdot 90+c$

We get the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2500a+50b+c=130\\ \\4900a+70b+c=130\\ \\8100a+90b+c=200\end{array}\right.$

Subtract these equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}4900a+70b+c-2500a-50b-c=130-130\\ \\8100a+90b+c-2500a-50b-c=200-130\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}2400a+20b=0\\ \\5600a+40b=70\end{array}\right.$
