Hey there!

When we know the slope of the line and we want a perpendicular line, we follow a specific rule.

We use the <em>opposite of the reciprocal</em> of the slope given.

Therefore, slope of 3 would give -1/3, slope of 1/2 would be -2, and so on.

Therefore, if we were to have a slope of 2/3, we take the opposite of the reciprocal to get -3/2.

I don't think your answer is here. If the lines are perpendicular, that has to be the answer; but do let me know if I made a mistake and I'd be glad to talk to you about this problem :)

Hope this helps!

Carl is wondering if the train he is riding home from school will leave early, on time, or late. The probabilities are as follow

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Probability of each situation is 1/3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 possibilities

1- Train will arrive early

2- Train will arrive on time

3- Train will arrive late

Formula for Probability of event a is = n(a)/Sum of events

In this case sum of events = 3

So

Probability of early arrival = 1/3

Probability of on time arrival = 1/3

Probability of late arrival = 1/3

The midpoint of AB is M (2,0). If the coordinates of A are, (-3, 3), what are the coordinates of B?

gregori [183]

Given:

M is the midpoint of AB.

M(2,0) and A(-3, 3).

To find:

The coordinates of point B.

Solution:

Midpoint formula:

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b). Then, using the midpoint formula, we get

$(2,0)=\left(\dfrac{-3+a}{2},\dfrac{3+b}{2}\right)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{-3+a}{2}=2$

$-3+a=2\times 2$

$a=4+3$

$a=7$

And,

$\dfrac{3+b}{2}=0$

$3+b=0$

$3+b-3=0-3$

$b=-3$

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (7,-3).
