Given:

Equation of line 7x-4y=-12.

To find:

The equation of line  that goes through the point ( − 21 , 2 ) and is perpendicular to the given line.

Solution:

The given equation of line can be written as

7x-4y+12=0

Slope of line is

\text{Slope}=-\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}

m_1=-\dfrac{7}{(-4)}

m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, slope of perpendicular line is

m_1m_2=-1

m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}

m_2=-\dfrac{4}{7}           [\because m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}]

Now, the slope of perpendicular line is m_2=\dfrac{4}{7} and it goes through (-21,2). So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}(x-(-21))

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-\dfrac{4}{7}(21)

y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12

y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12+2

y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10

Therefore, the required equation in slope intercept form is y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10.

A car moved at a speed of 90km/hr for 3 minutes.What distance did it cover?​
aniked [119]

Answer:

270kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, all you have to do is the speed · time

In these types of distance time and word problems, you multiply the other factors, 90 and 3, The time(T) · The speed(S)

So. 90(S) · 3(T) = 270(D)

Answer: Length: 4, width: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x and width be y

Then x=2y-8 and xy=24

Substitute to get 2y-8 * y = 24, so 2y^2-8y=24 or y^2-4y=12, then solve to get y=6 or y=-2. Since width is positive y=6.

Substitute y=6 into xy=24 to get x=4.

Length: 4, width: 6

Hope that helped,

A sugar box manufacturing company is accurately making 100 g packets. Suppose a business researcher randomly selects 100 boxes,
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The kind of error the researcher has done is a;

Type I error

Step-by-step explanation:

When carrying out hypothesis testing in statistical analysis, a type I error is the type of error said to have occurred when a null hypothesis that is true or correct is rejected which is a false positive conclusion

Given that that sugar box manufacturing company makes the boxes to be 100 g accurately, and that the researcher makes non-random or randomly selects packets which are not filled, the mean of the filled packets is expected to be 100 g making the conclusion for rejection of the null hypothesis a false positive rejection
