Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 4/3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first have to find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

3x + 4y = 20

4y = -3x + 20

y = -3/4x + 5

Now that we have the slope of -3/4 we can find the perpendicular slope. The perpendicular slope of any time is the opposite and reciprocal slope. So we flip -3/4 to get -4/3 and then we make it positive (4/3). Now that we have our new slope, we can input it along with the point into point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 4/3(x - 6)

y = 4/3x - 8

Suppose j varies jointly with g and v, and j=2 when g=4 and v=3. Find j when g=8 and v=9.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

$j=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a join variation, If j varies jointly with respect to g and v, the equation will be of the form $j = kgv$

where k is a constant

step 1

Find the value of k

we have

j=2,g=4,v=3

substitute and solve for k

$2 = k(4)(3)$

$2 = 12k$

$k=\frac{1}{6}$

The equation is equal to

$j=\frac{1}{6}gv$

step 2

Find the value of j when g=8,v=9

substitute the values in the equation and solve for j

$j=\frac{1}{6}(8)(9)$

$j=12$

Maria drives 130 miles in 2 hours. If she keeps driving at the same speed without stopping, what is the total time it will take

zlopas [31]

It would take her 10 hours.

Explanation: 650 divided by 130 is 5 and 2 hours multiplied by 5 hours is 10 hours. Sorry if I got it wrong, but hoped I helped.

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
