Perpendicular line always have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.  Mathematically,

m1*m2=-1

So to be perpendicular to the line given, let's rearrange it to the point slope form of a line...

3y=6x ?3 (not sure what you wanted to type there)

anyway isolating y by dividing both side by three will leave 2x where 2 is the slope.

So for the other line to be perpendicular, m*2=-1, m=-1/2, now we have:

y=-x/2 +b, we can now you the point given to solve for b

4=-2/2 +b

4=-1+b

b=5 so

y=-x/2 +5 or more neatly

y=(10-x)/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.671 = (2.67 × 100)(1 × 100) = 267100. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 267100 is also equal to 267100 when expressed as a mixed number.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.

Total number of students wearing jeans = 10

Total number of students wearing shorts = 9

Total number of students wearing capris = 2

Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)

                                                                                           = 21

Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100

                                                                      = (3/7) * 100

                                                                      = 300/7

                                                                      = 42.85 percent

So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.

A total of 697 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 53 fewer stu
Burka [1]
Let x = number of adult tickets sold
Let x-53 = number of student tickets sold

x + x -53 = 697
2x - 53 = 697. 

Add 53 to both sides to get:

2x = 750

Divide both sides by 2 to get:

x = 375

375 adult tickets were sold.

son4ous [18]
For calculating the mean, you want to add up all of the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are. So you'd do:

5+10+12+4+6+11+13+5 then divide that by 8

The answer to your question is: 8.25
