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.

A rack of 15 billiard balls is shown. If one ball is selected at random, determine the odds against it containing a number grea

andre [41]

Using the probability and odds concepts, it is found that the odds against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
An odd is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of non-desired outcomes.

In the rack, there are 15 balls, numbered from 1 to 15. Of those, 6 are less than 7(against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is equivalent to it containing a number less than 7), thus:
