A software designer is mapping the streets for a new racing game. All of the streets are depicted as either perpendicular or par

allel lines. The equation of the lane passing through A and B is -7x + 3y = -21.5. What is the equation of the central street PQ?
A.
-3x + 4y = 3

B.
-1.5x − 3.5y = -31.5

C.
2x + y = 20

D.
-2.25x + y = -9.75

Answer:

B.   -1.5x − 3.5y = -31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You forgot to provide the reference image which is essential to answer the question, but I managed to find it... and attach it to my answer.

In the given equation for AB, if we place the y term on the left and x term on the right, we see the slope of that line is 7/3 (y = (7x - 21.5)/3 ==> 7/3x).

We see on the image that the line PQ is perpendicular to AB.  That means that its slope is -3/7.

If we quickly check the slopes of each of the possible answers...

A. -3x + 4y = 3 ----> 4y = 3x - 3 ==> y = (3x-3)/4 => slope = 3/4

Not what we're looking for.

B. -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5 ==> 3.5y = -1.5x + 31 ===> y = (-1.5x +31)/3.5

that gives us a slope of -1.5/3.5... We can simplify it... -3(0.5)/7(0.5) = -3/7

Exactly as predicted.

Since we have the point P (7,6), we can enter it in the equation to verify:

-1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5

-1.5 (7) - 3.5 (6) = -10.5 - 21 = -31.5  --- Verified

C. 2x + y = 20 ==> y = 20 - 2x ===> slope is -2, not what we want.

D. -2.25x + y = -9.75 ==> y = 2.25x - 9.75 ==> slop is 2.25 cannot be it.

31-18÷6 how would you solve this using PEMDAS?
sergeinik [125]
P: Parenthesis
E: Equation 
M:Multiplication 
D: Division 
A : addition 
S: Subtraction

So first you need to divide because it is before so you divide 18 by 6 which is 3 then you subtract (31 - 3) which gives you 28
answer : 28

2) Find the probability of rolling a 2 or smaller.
Mamont248 [21]

There are 6 numbers in one die.

There are 2 numbers that are less than or equal to 2, they are 1 and 2

The probability of something happening is the number of chances / total number

The probability would be 2/6, which can be reduced to 1/3
