\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ 2 &,& 3~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ 4 &,& -3~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{2}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a "negative reciprocal" slope, thus

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{-3}{1}\\\\
negative\implies  +\cfrac{3}{ 1}\qquad reciprocal\implies +\cfrac{ 1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Easter, Christmas, birthdays, and New Year

Step-by-step explanation:

For me, I would choose Easter because before easter we always go to a church and stay there whole night. After 3-4 a.m, we go home and take a nap. But the most fun activity that we do during Easter is playing a game where we pick the best eggs and beat with each other. Later, our parents hide eggs and a couple of toys in the park and me and my siblings begin finding them.

What is the probability that a marble chosen at random is
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

P=\frac{6}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability can be defined as the ratio between the possible events and the total number of outcomes.

In this case, according to the image attached, the total number of outcomes is 11, because they are 11 marbles in total.

Now, the specific event is all shaded marbles or labeled with a multiple of 3. With this specific characteristics 6 marbles, because there are 5 shaded marbles and 6 is a multiple of 3. So, the possible events are 6.

Therefore, the probability is

P=\frac{6}{11}

The right answer is the last choice.
