Is y=4x-5 proportional

No it's not proportional because it would be like y=4x. And proportional relationship doesn't have any operation between the “k” and “x” where K is the unit rate or the constant of proportionality!

Answer: A proportional relation between two numbers, x and y is when:

y= k*x, where k is a real number.

this is read as "the number y is k times the number x" so y is proportional to x, and the constant of proportionality is k.

The equation in the problem is: y = 4x - 5, here you have an x-intercept equal to -5, this quantity breaks the proportionality relation. So in this case y is not proportional to x.

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Harman [31]

ANSWER

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

$2x + 3y = 9$

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,

$3y = - 2x + 9$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3$

The slope of this line is

$m_1 = - \frac{2}{3}$
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

$m_2$

Then
$m_1 \times m_2 = - 1$

$- \frac{2}{3} m_2= - 1$

This implies that,

$m_2 = - 1 \times - \frac{3}{2}$

$m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$

Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

$y = mx + b$

We substitute the slope to get,

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Since this line passes through
$(-2,5)$
it must satisfy its equation.

This means that,

$5= \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b$

$5 = - 3 + b$

$5 + 3 = b$

$b = 8$

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

What is P(greater than 8)?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum must be greater than 8 it can't be 7 anyway. Sums can be 9, 10 or 12. P = (4+3+1)/36 = 3/36

At the scene of a crime, the police have found a blood stain, a footprint, and some threads from a fabric. All are presumed to h

Answer:

There is a 0.175% chance of finding such a person who has all three characteristics.

Out of 4,000 people, 7 people would likely to match all three characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

A crime has been committed and after analyzing the evidence, police has found out that:

The criminal's blood type is a type found in only 10% of the population.
The criminal's footprint is a size 13 men's shoe and only 7% of the population wears such shoe size.
Only 25% of the population owns clothing made from a fabric that matches the thread samples found at the scene.

We required to find out the probability of selecting a random person who would match all of these characteristics.

Since it is given that the three characteristics are independent of each other then the required probability is

P(all 3 characteristics) = P(1st characteristic)*P(2nd characteristic)*P(3rd characteristic)

P(all 3 characteristics) = (10/100)*(7/100)*(25/100)

P(all 3 characteristics) = 1750/1,000,000

P(all 3 characteristics) = 7/4000

P(all 3 characteristics) = 0.00175

P(all 3 characteristics) = 0.175%

So out of 4,000 people, 7 people would likely to match all three characteristics.

There is a 0.175% chance of finding such a person who has all three characteristics
