Answer: There are 40 dentists who would recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Out of 20 dentists, a survey was taken of about Sparkly toothpaste,

Number of dentists recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients = 16

Percentage of dentists who recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients be

\frac{16}{20}\times 100=80\%

Out of 30 dentists, a survey was taken of about Sparkly toothpaste,

Number of dentists recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients = 24

Similarly,

Percentage of dentists who recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients be

\frac{24}{30}\times 100=80\%

Now, we have asked to find the number of dentists recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients if survey was taken of 50 dentists.

As we have seen that there is always 80% of total number of dentists surveyed have recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients ,

so, According to this pattern , we get that

\frac{80}{100}\times 50=40

Hence, there are 40 dentists who would recommended Sparkly toothpaste to their patients .

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is perpendicular to
uysha [10]

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2
