Which equation represents the line that contains the point (-2, 9) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 6?

2 answers:

Y=-1/2x+8

perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2

y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8

In a bag, there are 10 black plastic chips, 7 yellow, 5 red, and 3 green. Two chips are drawn at random with replacement.

Alja [10]

When the black chip is drawn, there is already one less chip in the bag; keep this in mind..

the probability of getting a black chip out of the bag is 10/25 or 2/5

now since there is one less chip, there is a total of 24 chips now..

so now the probability of getting a red chip is 5/24

then you would multiply the two events together and get:

2/5 x 5/24....solve
