Hi there!

To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18

Hope this helps!

Oliver has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Oliver randomly removes
Shtirlitz [24]

The probability that the next chew Oliver removes from the bag will be peach chew as a percent to the nearest whole number will be 13%.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Oliver has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and peach chews.

He performs an experiment.

Oliver randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag.

Oliver performs the experiment 23 times.

The results are shown below:

A pineapple chew was selected 17 times.

A lemon chew was selected 4 times.

A peach chew was selected 2 times.

Then the probability that the next chew Oliver removes from the bag will be peach chew as a percent to the nearest whole number will be

Total event = 24 times

Favorable event = 3 times

Then we have

P = 3 / 24 x 100

P = 0.125 x 100

P = 12.5%

P ≅ 13%

More about the probability link is given below.

You have a wooden rod which is 24 1/2 inches long. Carlos needs a piece which is 8 3/4 inches long and Amanda needs a piece whic
ipn [44]

Answer:

8 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the rod = 24 1/2 inches

Carlos = 8 3/4 inches

Amanda = 6 3/8 inches

length of the rod remaining = Total length - ( Carlos + Amanda)

= 24 1/2 - (8 3/4 + 6 3/8)

= 49/2 - (35/4 + 51/8)

= 49/2 - ( 75+51/8)

= 49/2 - 126/8

= 196-126/8

= 70/8

= 8 6/8 inches

= 8 3/4 inches

Length of rod remaining = 8 3/4 inches
