Answer:

462 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to use in solving this problem is given as the Combination formula

The Combination formula is given as

C(n , r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!

We are told that a food bakery has 12 pies unsold at the end of the day which they intend to share to 6 food banks

n = 12, r = 6

In order to ensure that at least 1 food bank gets 1 pie, we have:

n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

r - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Hence,

C(11, 5) = 11C5

= 11!/ 5! ×(11 - 5)!

= 11!/5! × 6!

= (11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)/ (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) ×( 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)

= 462 ways

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line equation, let us take two points

  • (0, 2)
  • (4, 1)

Finding the slope between two points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-2}{4-0}

m=-\frac{1}{4}

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4}}=4

Thus, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.
