The slope of the given line is found from the coefficient of x after dividing the equation by 2.
.. y = -3x +4
The given line has slope -3.
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
.. -1/(-3) = 1/3

This corresponds to your 3rd choice.

Answer:

$m=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Determine the slope of the line

From the attachment, we have the following points

$(x_1,y_1) = (-4,1)$

and

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,1)$

The slope m is then calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substitute values for the x's and y's

$m = \frac{1-1}{3 - (-4)}$

$m = \frac{1-1}{3 +4}$

$m = \frac{0}{7}$

$m=0$

<em>Hence, the slope is 0</em>

This is my question -- solve x^2+5x+6=0

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = -2,-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by factorizing.

To factorize this equation, you have to find the two numbers that adds up to 5 and multiplies to 6.

This one is obvious, but for others you may use trial and error.

After finding the 2 numbers: 2 and 3.

Present them in this format:

(x+3) ( x+2) = 0

You may check if this is correct using the distribution method.

After this,

you have to solve it individually.

for example:

x+3 = 0

x = -3

x+2 = 0

x = -2.

Thus, x has 2 different values: -3, -2.

You may check this by substituting x with either of these values.

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?

B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?

Solution:

The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:

P (A) = 0.015

Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:

P (A') = 1 - P (A)

= 1 - 0.015

= 0.985

(A)

Compute the odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:

$\text{Odds of being Audited}=\frac{P(A)}{P(A')}$

$=\frac{0.015}{0.985}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=0.015228\\\\\approx 0.015$

Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B)

Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:

$\text{Odds against Audited}=\frac{P(A')}{P(A)}$

$=\frac{0.985}{0.015}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=65.666667\\\\\approx 65.67$

Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

Solve by any method <br> y= -7x+10<br> y= -3x+6

AnnyKZ [126]

Y=1
To get it, you use the method of substitution. So you swtich the top y by the equation of the bottom=-3x+6=-7x+10. You first add 7x to each side=4x+6=10 then you minus 6 from each side=4x=4 which is 1
