Answer:

-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the slope value of the first line, we will call this m_{1}

so  m_{1}=2

And we use the <u>condition </u>so that two lines are perpendicular: the product of the two slopes must be equal to -1.

That is, if the slope of the first line is m_{1} and the slope of the second line is m_{2}:

m_{1*}m_{2}=-1

we know that m_{1}=2, so:

2m_{2}=-1

and clearing for m_{2}:

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 2 is: -\frac{1}{2}

notka56 [123]

Answer: 40 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability in a sigle spin of getting the colour pink is p = 0.2

This means that in 0.2*100%  = 20% of the spins we should see the colour pink.

Then, out of 200 spins, the 20% of 200 is

(20%/100%)*200 = 0.2*200 = 40

This means that out of 200 spins, in around 40 of them we will se the colour pink.

Given f(x)=3x+8 and g(x)=6x+6<br><br> then what is (f+g)(−1))<br><br> ?
tankabanditka [31]
(f+g)(-1)
=f(-1)+g(-1), so;
f(x)=3x+8
f(-1)=3(-1)+8
f(-1)=-3+8
f(-1)=5

g(x)=6x+6
g(-1)=6(-1)+6
g(-1)=-6+6
g(-1)=0
Finally:
f(-1)+g(-1)
=5+0
=5. As a result, (f+g)(-1) is 5. Hope it help!
