Answer:
=========
<h2>Given</h2>
<h3>Line 1</h3>
<h3>Line 2</h3>
- Passing through the points (4, 3) and (5, - 3)
<h2>To find</h2>
- The value of k, if the lines are perpendicular
<h2>Solution</h2>
We know the perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, that is the product of their slopes is - 1.
Find the slope of line 1 by converting the equation into slope-intercept from standard form:
<u><em>Info:</em></u>
- <em>standard form is ⇒ ax + by + c = 0, </em>
- <em>slope - intercept form is ⇒ y = mx + b, where m is the slope</em>
- 3x - ky + 7 = 0
- ky = 3x + 7
- y = (3/k)x + 7/k
Its slope is 3/k.
Find the slope of line 2, using the slope formula:
- m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-3 - 3)/(5 - 4) = - 6/1 = - 6
We have both the slopes now. Find their product:
- (3/k)*(- 6) = - 1
- - 18/k = - 1
- k = 18
So when k is 18, the lines are perpendicular.
So you have a 50% chance to have a boy vs a girl (1/2). If you want 3 children, that would be 1/3*1/2= 1/6 or 16.67% chance
Should be D. Let me know if you need more of an explanation.
Answer: y-7 = 4(x+3), choice B
============================================
Point slope form is generally
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
we have m as the slope and (x1,y1) as the point this line goes through. In this case,
m = 4
(x1,y1) = (-3,7) so x1 = -3 and y1 = 7
So,
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 7 = 4(x - (-3))
y - 7 = 4(x + 3)
which is why choice B is the answer
