Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)

Slope = change in Y over change in x:

Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2

Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)

Simplify to get y = 2x-3

Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.

The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3

You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7

The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7

According to a study, 13 out of 25 people enjoy jogging. What

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

48% of people do NOT like walking

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write it as a fraction 13/25 (People who like jogging)

We want to find out the number of people who DON'T like walking, so we subtract 25-13=12. Put 12/25.

Lastly, convert into a percentage. Percent is out of 100, so we need to make the fraction out of 100. To do this multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4. 48/100.

48%

Which are the independent events? Check all that apply

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Independent events are those that do not depend on others. Two entities does not depend on each other. The change in one entity does not change the other.

So, independent events here are-

1. rolling a number cube twice.

2. flipping a coin 4 times.

3. choosing a meal combination.

Rest two options are dependent on each other.
