3x-4y=9
-4y=-3x+9
y=3x/4 -9/4

To get the perpendicular equation, first you have to find the find the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

y= -4x/3 +___

Now, when you've found the slope, you multiply it by the x value, and find the difference between that and the y value.

-4/3(-4)
16/3 -(-5)
10/3

Since you have to subtract 16/3, you out a negative on the 10/3

y= -4x/3 -10/3 should be your answer.

  • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept

So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.

Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation: -4y=-3x+9

Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}

Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>

Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:

-5=-\frac{4}{3}*-4+b\\\\-5=5\frac{1}{3}+b\\\\-10\frac{1}{3}=b

<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>

Solve for x. 3x/4 - X/12 =7/8 simplify your answer in fraction form ​
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

or, 3x/4 - 7/8 = 7/8

or, 3x/4=7/8+7/8

or, 3x/4 = (7+7)/8

or, 3x/4 = 14/8

or, 3x = (14/8)*4

or, 3x=56/8

or, 3x= 7

or, x=7/3

In Rivertown High School, about 30% of the students buy a raffle ticket. Given that a student buys a raffle ticket, there is a 1
lesya [120]

The probability that that a randomly selected student will buy a raffle ticket and win a prize = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

The percentage of students buying the raffle ticket = 30%

The percentage that the student who bought the ticket wins the prize = 10%

We need to determined the probability that randomly selected student will buy a raffle ticket and win a prize.

Step 2 :

The probability that a student buys the raffle ticket =  \frac{30}{100}  = \frac{3}{10}

The probability that a student wins a prize = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

The probability that a student who buys the ticket wins a price can be computed by taking the product of the above 2 probabilities.

 = \frac{3}{10} × \frac{1}{10}  = \frac{3}{100} = 0.03

Step 3 :

Answer :

The probability that that a randomly selected student will buy a raffle ticket and win a prize = 0.03
