Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2} x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the slope of the line EF

we have

y=-2x+7

The slope of the line EF is equal to

m=-2

Step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line EF

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of its slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=-2 -----> slope of the line EF

Find the value of m2

substitute

(-2)*m2=-1

m2=1/2

therefore

the equation y=\frac{1}{2} x-3 could be an equation for a line that is perpendicular to line EF

1.

When a line is given in the form y=mx+n, 

m is the slope of this line.

For example, the slope of the line y=-2x+7 is -2.

2. 

If lines y=mx+n and y=kx+t are perpendicular, then the multiplication of their slopes is -1, that is

m*k = -1, so k=-1/m

3.

any line perpendicular to y=-2x+7 has slope = -1/(-2)=1/2

4.

Among the choices, y=(1/2)x-3 is a line perpendicular to the given line.

Answer: 

b. y=(1/2)x-3

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.

A set of a thousand numbers has a mean of zero.
Alona [7]

We want to find the mean of two elements in a set, given that we know the other elements of the set and the mean of the whole set.

The answer is: -490

-----------------------------

For a set with N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the mean is given by:

M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}

Here we know that:

  • The mean of the set is 0.
  • The set has 1000 elements.
  • 998 of these elements are ones, the other two are A and B.

We want to find the mean of the values of A and B.

First, we can start by writing the equation for the mean:

\frac{1 + 1 + 1 + ... A + B}{1000}  = 0

We can rewrite this as:

1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 0

And we have 998 ones, then:

1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 998 + A + B = 0\\\\B = - 998 - A

Now we have B isolated.

With this, the mean of A and B can be written as:

\frac{A + B}{2}  = \frac{A - 980 - A}{2} = -490

So we can conclude that the mean of the other two numbers is -490.
