Find the equation of the line passing through the point (–1, –2) and perpendicular to the line y = –1∕2x + 5. Question options:
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = - 1/2x + 5

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope / m = -1/2

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other the slope of the other line is the negative inverse of the original line

That's

Slope of the perpendicular line = 2

Equation of the line using point (–1, –2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x + 1)

y + 2 = 2x + 2

y = 2x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2x</h3>

Hope this helps you

Julie and Eric row their boat (at a constant speed) downstream for 40 miles in 4 hours, helped by the current. Rowing at the sam
Liula [17]

Answer: 3 miles per hour

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.

Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing

Let "c" represent the current

                            time          rate      distance        <u>EQUATION</u>

Downstream:     4 hours     r + c       40 miles         4(r + c) = 40

Upstream:         10 hours    r - c        40 miles         10(r - c) = 40


Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:

Down: 4r + 4c = 40  →   5(4r + 4c = 40)  →   20r + 20c = 200

  Up: 10r - 10c = 40  → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u>  -80</u>

                                                                                40c = 120

                                                                              <u> ÷40  </u>  <u>÷40 </u>

                                                                                    c =   3

If 65 percent of the population of a large community is in favor of a proposed rise in school taxes, approximate the probability
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:  a) 0.99917  b)  0.7054  c) 0.9820

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes the number of people are in favor of a proposed rise in school taxes.

Era re given that p(probability that a person is in favor of a proposed rise )= 0.65

Sample size : n= 100

Mean= np = 100(0.65)=65

Standard deviation: \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}\\\\=\sqrt{100(0.65)(0.35)}\\\\=4.76969600708\approx4.77

a) Now, the probability that a random sample of 100 people will contain  at least 50 who are in favor of the proposition :

P(x\geq50)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\geq\dfrac{50-65}{4.77})\\\\=P(z\geq-3.144)\\\\=P(z-z)=P(Z

b) between 60 and 70 inclusive who are in favor;

P(60

c) fewer than 75 in favor.

P(x
