Answer:

The equation of the line is y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The slope of the line which passes through the points (x1 , y1) and

  (x2 , y2) is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

- The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines = -1

- That means if the slope of a line is m then the slope of the

  perpendicular line to this line is -1/m

- The point-slope of the equation is y - y_{1}=m(x - x_{1})

* lets solve the problem

∵ A given line passes through points (-4 , -3) and (4 , 1)

∴ x1 = -4 , x2 = 4 and y1 = -3 , y2 = 1

∴ The slope of the line m=\frac{1-(-3)}{4-(-4)}=\frac{1+3}{4+4}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

- The slope of the line perpendicular to this line is -1/m

∵ m = 1/2

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line is -2

- Lets find the equation of the line whose slope is -2 and passes

 through point (-4 , 3)

∵ x1 = -4 , y1 = 3

∵ m = -2

∵ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

∴ y - 3 = -2(x - (-4))

∴ y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

* The equation of the line is y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

In a class, 42 students, there are 8 more boys than girls write and solve a system of 3 equations
zhenek [66]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 8 = 42     because x = boys and x + 8 = girls

2x = 34      because 2x = 42 - 8

x = 17            



i hope this helps!  you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation      ;)

State whether the data described below are discrete or​ continuous, and explain why. The exact mass (in grams )of food eaten by
NARA [144]

Answer:

A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data surveyed is the exact mass, in grams, of food eaten by each person each day.

This type of data is continous, not discrete. The mass can take any value within the domain of positive real numbers. It represents a physic variable, and they are always continous.

257/5000 In an envelope there are 20 ballots, 8 have drawn a car the rest are white. Find the probability to extract at least on
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 ballots, 8 have drawn a car the rest are white.

Find the probability to extract at least one ballot with the drawing of a car if not replaced:

1. If a ballot is taken out:

8 have drawn a car: thus we have 8/20 = 2/5

2. If two ballots are removed, probability of extracting 1 ballot with drawing of car is 8/20 leaving 7 out of 19 remaining. The 7/19 is the probability of drawing out a second ballot with the drawing of a car. Thus we have

8/20 * 7/19 = 56/380 = 14/95

3. If three ballots are removed, probability of extracting 1 ballot with drawing of car is 8/20 leaving 7 out of 19 remaining. The 7/19 is the probability of drawing out a second ballot with the drawing of a car leaving 6 out of 18 remaining. The 6/18 is the probability of drawing out a third ballot with the drawing of a car.

8/20 * 7/19 * 6/18 = 42/855

After a new $28,000 car is driven off the lot, it begins to depreciate at a rate of 18.9% annually.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We get 0.811 as our depreciating value because we take 18.9% and turn it into a decimal. Then, we subtract that from 1. If we did 0.189 instead, it would depreciate at a rate of 81.1% annually.
