Answer:

-3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-3y=-9

3y=8x-(-9)

3y=8x+9

y=8/3x+9/3

y=8/3x+3

perpendicular means negative reciprocal of the current slope,

and the negative reciprocal of 8/3 is -3/8.

The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)

= 1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent
