Which of the following equations represents a line that is perpendicular to y=-4x+9 and passes through the point, (4,5)?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation of line is:
y = -4x+9
Comparing it with the standard form
y = mx+b
m = -4
As we know that the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
Let m1 be the slope of perpendicular line
m * m1 = -1
-4 * m1 = -1
m1 = -1/-4
m1 = 1/4
In order to find the value of b, putting the point in standard form
5 = (1/4)*4 + b
5 = 1 + b
b = 5-1
b = 4
Putting the value of b and m1 in standard form
..

Explanation
A) Let x = the number of yellow blocks. Then x+4 = the number of red blocks, and x+x+4=2x+4 is the total number of blocks.
The probability of choosing a red block first would be
since there are x+4 red blocks out of 2x+4 total blocks.
The probability of choosing a yellow block after the red block would be
since there are x yellow blocks, and after 1 is chosen, there are 2x+3 total blocks remaining.
This gives the total probability of
B) If there are 6 yellow blocks, there are 6+4=10 red blocks, and 10+6=16 total blocks.
The probability of getting a red block first would be 10/16, and the probability of getting a yellow block after the red block would be 6/15. Together this gives us
10/16(6/15) = 60/240 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
C) If there are 6 yellow blocks, there are 6+4=10 red blocks, and 10+6=16 total blocks.
The probability of getting a yellow block first is 6/16, and the probability of getting a second yellow block after the first one is 5/15. Together this gives us
6/16(5/15) = 30/240 = 1/8 = 0.125 = 12.5%
B) 1/4 = 25%
C) 1/8 = 12.5%
