If p = -2 and q = 5, is the value of p/q equivalent to 2/5?

Mathematics

grandymaker [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subsutute p/q with the numbers given, p = -2 and q = 5.

-2 / 5.

2. Divide 2/5 and -2/5 and compare.

2 / 5 = 0.40

-2 / 5 = -0.40

-0.40 < 0.40

If they are not =, then they are <u>NOT</u> equivalent.

Which means, they are Not equivalent.

There are 87 green balls and 41 red balls in a bag. If one is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be a green
garri49 [273]

Number of green balls = 87

Number of red balls = 41

So total number of balls = 128

Probability formula = number of events / number of possible outcomes.

So, the probability that a ball randomly selected will be a green ball will be

\frac{87}{87+41}

equals 0.6796875 converting to nearest hundredth as 0.68

zheka24 [161]

4x + 9 = 68

Subtract 9 from both sides:

4x = 59

Divide both sides by 4

X = 59/4

X = 14.75

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes though the point (3,0)? ......What is the an
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:  The correct option is (D) 5x-3y=15.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line and passes through the point (3, 0).

From the graph, we note that

the graphed line passes through the points (2, -1) and (-3, 2).

The SLOPE of a straight line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.

So, the slope of the graphed line is

m=\dfrac{2-(-1)}{-3-2}\\\\\Rightarrow m=-\dfrac{3}{5}.

We know that the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, if m' is the slope of a line perpendicular to the graphed line, then

m\times m'=-1\\\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{3}{5}\times m'=-1\\\\\Rightarrow m'=\dfrac{5}{3}.

Since the line with slope m' passes through the point (3, 0), so its equation will be

y-0=m'(x-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-3)\\\\\Rightarrow 3y=5x-15\\\\\Rightarrow 5x-3y=15.

Thus, the required equation of the perpendicular line is 5x-3y=15.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
