Answer:

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{2}{3} x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{2}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} } = - \frac{3}{2}, thus

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 9 = - 4

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line

In a competition, a school awarded medals in different categiories.40 medals in sport 25 medals in danceand 212 medals in music,
aleksley [76]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Medals in sports = 40

Medals in dance = 25

Medals in music = 212

Total students that received medals = 55

Total students that received medals in all three categories = 6

Required:

How many students get medals in exactly two of these categories?

Take the following:

A = set of persons who got medals in sports.

B = set of persons who got medals in dance

C = set of persons who got medals in music.

Therefore,

n(A) = 40

n(B) = 25

n(C) = 212

n(A∪B∪C)= 55

n(A∩B∩C)= 6

To find how many students get medals in exactly two of these categories, we have:

n(A∩B) + n(B∩C) + n(A∩C) −3*n(A∩B∩C)

=n(A∩B) + n(B∩C) + n(A∩C) −3*6 ……............... (1)

n(A∪B∪C)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)−n(A∩B)−n(B∩C)−n(A∩C)+n(A∩B∩C)

Thus, n(A∩B)+n(B∩C)+n(A∩C)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)+n(A∩B∩C)−n(A∪B∪C)

Using equation 1:

=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)+n(A∩B∩C)−n(A∪B∪C)−18

Substitute values in the equation:

= 40 + 25 + 212 + 6 − 55 − 18

= 283 - 73

= 210

Number of students that get medals in exactly two of these categories are 210

10. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -1 and passes through the point (-13,0). Put in Standard
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope m  = -1;   (-13,0)

y - y1 = m (x-x1)

y - 0 = (-1)* (x - [-13] )

  y  = (-1)* (x + 13)

   y = -1*x  + (-1)*13

   y =  -x -13
