Which is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 8x + 6y = –5?

Mathematics

The perpendicular line will have an equation of y=3/4x-3/4

To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.

8x + 6y = -5 ----> subtract 8x

6y = -8x + -5 ----> divide by 6

y = -4/3x - 5/6.

So we know the slope of this equation to be -4/3. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of 3/4. Since B is the only option with that slope, we know it to be the correct answer.

The two lines below intersect as shown what the value of x (2x+29) (9x-13)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Given:

Two lines intersect each other.

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are congruent and their measures are equal.

In the given figure, the measures of two vertically opposite angles are (2x+29)° and (9x-13)°.

2x+29=9x-13

2x-9x=-29-13

-7x=-42

Divide both sides by -7.

x=\dfrac{-42}{-7}

x=6

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

From a large number of actuarial exam scores, a random sample of scores is selected, and it is found that of these are passing s
Mnenie [13.5K]

<u>Supposing 60 out of 100 scores are passing scores</u>, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

  • The lower limit is 0.5.
  • The upper limit is 0.7.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of \alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of \frac{1+\alpha}{2}.

60 out of 100 scores are passing scores, hence n = 100, \pi = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.5

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.7

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

  • The lower limit is 0.5.
  • The upper limit is 0.7.

Can someone please help
jekas [21]

For slope, people sometimes use the description 'rise divided by run'. We know that the y axis describes rise, and the x axis describes run. So rise divided by run written numerically is \frac{y}{x}. Now let's look at the line above. We can see that every time the y value goes up one unit, the x value goes right two units. This means that [tex]\frac{y}{x} --> \frac{y + 1}{x + 2}

This can be rewritten as 1/2, so the is 1/2. Hope this helped.
