the line joining A(a, 3) to B(2 -3) is perpendicular to the line joining C(10,1) to B. The value of a is?

RideAnS [48]

Well, first off, let's find what is the slope of BC

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad 
% (c,d)
C&({{ 10}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-3)}{10-2}\implies \cfrac{1+3}{10-2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a negative reciprocal slope, thus

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{1}{2}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 2}}}{1}\implies \boxed{-2}$

now, we know the slope "m" of AB is -2 then, thus

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ a}}\quad ,&{{ 3}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{2-a}=\boxed{-2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-6}{2-a}=-2\implies -6=-4+2a\implies -2=2a\implies \cfrac{-2}{2}=a
\\\\\\
-1=a$

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 57% use them in meetings or classes. If 8 adult smartphone use

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

≈ 0.2526

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of 4 out of 8:

8C4 = 8!/(4!(8-4)!)= 8*7*6*5/(1*2*3*4)= 70

Success factor is:

57% = 0.57

and failure factor is:

(100 - 57)%= 43%= 0.43

Probability:

0.57⁴*0.43⁴*70 ≈ 0.2526

Mr. Robins earns a commission on each airfare he books. At the end of the day, he had booked $208.60 worth of airfare and earned

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

His rate is ...

rate = commission/sales · 100% = 31.29/208.60 · 100%

rate = 15%

Mr. Robins' commission rate is 15% of bookings.

The money in Juan's savings account earns 1 1/4% interest. Which value is less than 1 1/4 %? The values are: a. 1/4 b. 0.125 c.

aleksandrvk [35]

11/4% = (11/4)/100 = 11/400 = 0.0275;
1/4 = 0.2500;
1/80 = 0.0125;
We observe that 0.0125 < 0.0275 and 0.0114 < 0.0275 and 0.2500 > 0.0275 and 0.12500 > 0.0275;

The answers are c. and d.

The points R(−4, −1) and S(2, −5) are two vertices of right triangle RST. The hypotenuse of the triangle is RS.

Norma-Jean [14]

If RS is the hypotenuse of the triangle RST and point T is in Quadrant 3, then point T must be the intersection of the lines: x = - 4 and y = - 5.
Therefore, the coordinates of point T are ( x, y ) = ( - 4, - 5 )
Answer:
T ( - 4, - 5 )
