Assuming the equation is 3x-2y+4=0 then the equation of the line, solving for y in terms of x, gives y=3/2x+2 the slope of this line is 3/2 then the slope of a line that is perpendicular is -2/3 .An easy way to see this is to draw the line. By definition the slope, m=tan(α) where α is the angle the line makes with the x axis. Let L=slope of the perpendicular line then L=tan(β) but the two lines with the x axis form a right triangle hence α+π-β=π/2 so β=π/2+α and L=tan(β)=tan(π/2+α)=-cot(α) = -1/tan(α)=-1/m.In our problem m=3/2 so L=-2/3.The geometry becomes clear if you make a sketch of the two lines. Hope this helps

You roll two number cubes.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: Independent because they have no outcomes in common


Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this answer is because the event A is the first roll

And then you roll a 4 independently, they both do not control each other making it B because the outcomes can be totally different

Degger [83]
So, we know that the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, yes? 
60 degrees plus 50 degrees equals 110 degrees, and subtract 110 from 180, and you get 70 degrees for angle y.

Now, if the triangles are congruent (identical) and the shape you are describing is like an hourglass, then because of the vertical angles theorem, angle x should be 70 degrees too! 

Hope I helped!!  :)

Colin invests £4800 into his bank account.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

$5903.39

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solve using compound interest formula. The formula is:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount (what we are looking for)

P is the present amount (which is 4800)

r is the rate of compound interest per year, in decimal (3% per year, 3/100 = 0.03)

t is the time in years ( t = 7)

Now we substitute these values into the formula and find F:

F=P(1+r)^t\\F=4800(1+0.03)^7\\F=4800(1.03)^7\\F=5903.39

So, Colin would have $5903.39 after 7 years, in his account.
