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

Factorise (2t-7)²-(5t-4)² <br>with working pls​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33+12t−21t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2t-7)²-(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (2t-7)².

4t^2−28t+49−(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (5t-4)².

4t^2−28t+49−(25t^2−40t+16)

To find the opposite of 25t^2

−40t+16, find the opposite of each term.

4t^2−28t+49−25t^2−40t+16

Combine 4t^2  and −25t^2  to get −21t^2.

−21t^2−28t+49+40t−16

Combine −28t and 40t to get 12t.

−21t^2+12t+49−16

Subtract 16 from 49 to get 33.

−21t^2+12t+33

Swap terms to the left side.

33+12t−21t^2

I hope this helped!

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38

Your personal library contains books written by 165 authors. 60% of the authors are men. 40% of the authors write only nonfictio
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The probability that a book picked at random is either a work written by an author who writes only nonfiction or a work written by a man is 75.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability, in this case, has to be calculated using the sum rule because the events are independent. 

P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) - P(men non-fiction); where P is the probability. It means the probability that the random book was written by a man plus the probability that the random book was non-fiction minus the probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction. The probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction has to be subtracted, if not you will be duplicating it. 

Facts:

P(men) = 60% = 99/165

P(non-fiction) = 40% = 66/165

P(men non-fiction) = 40/165

P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) – P(men non-fiction)

P = 99/165 + 66/165 – 40/165

P = 125/165

P = 0.758 or 75.8%

Olivia makes and sells muffins and scones at
serg [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute the proposed solution values and see if the inequality is true.

  0.50x +0.80y ≥ 20

  0.50(20) + 0.80(32) ≥ 20

  10 + 25.6 ≥ 20

  35.6 ≥ 20 . . . . . . true; (20, 32) is a solution
