Find the equation of the line through (0,4) perpendicular to the line y = 3x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

m= -  \frac{1}{3}

subst. m= -  \frac{1}{3} into the equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

4 =  -  \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4

Thus the equation of the line is y =  -\frac{1}{3} x + 4.

(Essay Question 7 Points)
Irina18 [472]

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?

The value of 7y–2 is 10 more than the value of 2y
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y=12/5 (in decimal notation y=2.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of 7y-2 = 10 more than 2y

7y-2 = 10+2y

7y-2y = 10+2

5y = 12

y = 12/5

y = 2.4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = m = -1/4

y-intercept = b = 5

Slope intercept form = y = mx +b

y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x+5
