- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.
Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation:
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is
Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>
Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:
<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
Answer:
17.80% probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each driver stopped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are wearing their seatbelts, or they are not. The drivers are chosen at random, which mean that the probability of a driver wearing their seatbelts is independent from other drivers. So we use the normal probability distribution to solve this problem.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts.
This means that 75% wear their seatbelts, so
If they stop 6 drivers at random, find the probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.
This is .
17.80% probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.
