to get the +9 from -1 ..

Let's look at the first equation.

3y = 5x - 1

y = 5/3 y - 1/3

This line has slope 5/3. A line perpendicular to it has slope -3/5.

The second line is y = -3/5 x + 9.
Its slope is indeed -3/5, so the second line is perpendicular to the first one.

There is an infinite number of lines perpendicular to any given line. You concluded correctly that the two lines in this problem are perpendicular based on the fact that their slopes are negative reciprocals. The second line, y = -3/5 x + 9, is only one line that is perpendicular to the first line. There is an infinite number of lines perpendicular to the first line. All the perpendicular lines have the slope -3/5 and different y-intercepts. The +9 here is just the y-intercept of this specific perpendicular line. Since there is an infinite number of y-intercepts, there is an infinite number of perpendiculars.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+1

=> put y=5

5=x+1

x=5-1

x= 4

(4,5)

same put y=9

so, x= 8

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

  (a)  There are asymptotes at x=3/2 and x=-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator zeros can be found by factoring:

  f(x) = (x +1)/((2x -3)(3x +1))

Neither of the denominator factors is cancelled by the numerator factor, so each represents a vertical asyptote, not a function hole.

The asymptotes are at the values of x where the denominator is zero:

  2x -3 = 0   ⇒   x = 3/2

  3x +1 = 0   ⇒   x = -1/3

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The number of people needed  is n =684  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population proportion is  p = 0.65

   The margin of error is  E = 0.03

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

       n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * p(1-p)

=>    n =[ \frac{1.645 }{0.03} ]^2 * 0.65(1-0.65)

=>    n =684
