Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 3x + 4y = 9 that passes through (8, - 4)

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, let's find the slope of 3x + 4y = 9, by simply putting it in slope-intercept form.


\bf 3x+4y=9\implies 4y=-3x+9\implies y=-\cfrac{3x+9}{4}\implies y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}x+\cfrac{9}{4} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{4}{3}}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}}


so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 4/3 and runs through 8, -4.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})~\hspace{10em} slope =  m\implies \cfrac{4}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-4)=\cfrac{4}{3}(x-8) \implies y+4=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{32}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{32}{3}-4\implies y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{44}{3}

 1 king was picked so 3 are left, 52 -1 = 51 cards left

 so you have a 3/51 reduced to a 1/17 probability of picking another king

Mark is draining his pool to clean it. At 12:00 P.M., he started to drain the pool. At 4:00 P.M., the pool had 11,600 gallons of
katrin2010 [14]
12:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. is a total of 7 hours.
4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. is a total of 3 hours.

This means that from 4:00 p.m to 7:00 P.M. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

After knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800
4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.
We then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

Because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.  After adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7:00 P.M. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

This means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

You can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

Answer:

(y - 2)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

= xy - 5y - 2x + 10

= y(x - 5) - 2(x - 5)

= (y - 2)(x - 5)
