What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 5y+2x=12?

Mathematics

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 5y + 2x = 12 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

5y = - 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = - \frac{2}{5} + \frac{12}{5} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{2}{5} } = \frac{5}{2} → A

Find the surface area of the triangular prism (above) using its net (below).
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

96 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

  • The length of the large rectangle is: 5
  • The width of the large rectangle is: 7

=> Area of the large rectangle = length × width  = 7*5 = 35 square units

  • The length of the middle rectangle is: 7
  • The width of the middle rectangle is: 4

=> Area of the middle rectangle = length × width  = 7*4 = 28 square units

  • The length of the small rectangle is: 7
  • The width of the small rectangle is: 3            

=> Area of the small rectangle = length × width  = 7*3 = 21 square units

Area of top and the bottom triangles =2* \frac{1}{2}bh  = 4*3 =12  

Total surface area = 35 + 28 + 21 + 12 = 96 square units

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the plant after 7 weeks, we need to find out the equation of the line of best fit and plug in 7 for x. We already have our y - intercept, which is 1,  and we have a point on the x axis for which the y coordinate is an integer, (5, 4). Since we already have the y - intercept of +1 we have y = mx + 1. Since this applies to (5,4) we can plug this in to our equation. This is then 4 = 5m + 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get 3 = 5m. Dividing by 5, we receive m = 3/5. Since now we have our slope, we can plug in 7 and find out our answer. Plugging in 7 we receive, y = 3/5 * 7 + 1, which is equal to y = 4.2 + 1. This means that y = 5.2, so 5.2 is our answer.

Risk taking is an important part of investing. In order to make suitable investment decisions on behalf of their customers, port
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a=49.5 -1.28*15=30.3

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.  

If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(49.5,15)  

Where \mu=49.5 and \sigma=15

We are interested in the bottom 10% of the data.

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.9   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.1 of the area on the left and 0.9 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28. On this case P(Z<-1.28)=0.1 and P(z>-1.28)=0.9

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=49.5 -1.28*15=30.3

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.  

If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse

-6(x+7)=-4x-2<br> How many solutions does it have
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Equation have Unique solution i.e x=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

-6(x+7)=-4x-2

Solving the Equation for 'x'.

           -6(x)-6(7)=-4x-2\\\\-6x-42=-4x-2

Adding '4x'  both sides:

             -6x+4x-42=-4x+4x-2\\\\-6x+4x-42=-2\\\\-2x-42=-2

Adding '42' both sides:

               -2x-42+42=-2+42\\\\-2x=40

                        x=\frac{40}{-2} \\\\x=-20

The equation have Unique solution with the value of x=-20
