1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:

m*(-4) = -1

-4m = -1

m = 1/4

2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)

y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))

y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)

y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)

Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2

Find the number of letters from the word MAXIMUM where two consonants cannot occur. (Permutation)​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

In word MAXIMUM, consonants are M & X. According to the question itself, consonants should not occur together.

So, we have to put vowels at each even position; only then the condition will be satisfied.

We can put this in 3! ways (permutations of A, I & U).  

For odd positions we can put 3-M's & a X. Total ways is 4!/3!   (as repetitions of M).

Hence, the answer is 4!/3! x 3! = 24 ways.  

24=4!.

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add to 90°.

A.

m<CFD = 150° - 100° = 50°

m<EFD = 180° - 150° = 30°

Sum = 80°

No

B.

m<AFB = 40°

m<DFE = m<EFD = 30°

Sum = 70°

No

C.

m<AFC = 100°

Sum > 100°

No

D.

m<BFC = 100° - 40° = 60°

m<DFE = 30°

Sum = 90°

Yes
