Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.


The point nearest the origin is (a,b).


The line from the origin through the point is


bx - ay = 0


The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


ax + by = a^2 + b^2


ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0


x - y - 8 = 0

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Four cards numbered (1, 5, 8,9)

Given the sample space S= 4

1.The first selection with replacement

Probability of picking a 9= 1/4

2. Second selection, probability of picking a 9= 1/4

Hence the probability that both cards drawn have the number 9.

Is = (1/4)*(1/4)= 1/16
