Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==

Your equation oinitial is y=-2/3x+5

perpendicular lines have slopes that mulitply to get -1

y=mx+b
m=slope

given
y=-2/3x+5
slope=-2/3

perpendicular so
-2/3 times what=-1
times -3/2 both sides
what=3/2
the slope is 3/2

let's use point slope form

equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so given point (8,1) and slope 3/2

y-1=3/2(x-8)
is yo equation
if yo wanted slope intercept
y-1=3/2x-12
y=3/2x-11 is slope intercept
if wanted standard form

11=3/2x-y
3x-2y=22


equaiton is
y-1=\frac{3}{2}(x-8) for point slope form
y=\frac{3}{2}x-11 in slope intercept form
3x-2y=22 in standard form

A coin is flipped until 3 heads in succession occur. list only those elements of the sample space that require 6 or less tosses.
Mashutka [201]

we are given

A coin is flipped until 3 heads in succession occur

so, firstly, we will find sample space

S={HHH , THHH , HTHHH, TTHHH , TTTHHH , HTTHHH , THTHHH , HHTHHHH, ......}

now, we are given that

list only those elements of the sample space that require 6 or less tosses

so, we can see that sample space

S={HHH , THHH , HTHHH, TTHHH , TTTHHH , HTTHHH , THTHHH , HHTHHHH, ......}

There are infinite such possibilities

so, there are infinite number of elements in space

and we know that

discrete sample space will always have finite elements

but we have infinite number of sample space elements here

so, this is not discrete sample space...........Answer

Michael has $1,059.35 in his checking account. He is going to spend $466.43 on a new television, and he will spend the rest on s
sesenic [268]

Answer:

D. $43.00x + $466.43 < $1,059.35

Step-by-step explanation:

He has $1,059.35.

The amount of speakers he buys is x.

Each speaker is $43.00, and he is buying one television, which is $466.43.

All of the speakers he buys and(+) the television must be less than $1,059.35 because that's all he has. It cannot be more, which is why the equation is $43.00x + $466.43 < $1,059.35.

Hope this helps!
