Answer: B) y=1/4x+7/2

Step 1: Slope

Knowing that the equation will be perpendicular to the one given will only give us the slope. Perpendicular means that the slope will be opposite to what it is now.

The opposite of -4 (the current slope) is 1/4. Even knowing only this will tell us that the answer is b, but I will continue to explain for when no options are given.

Step 2: Y-intercept

Now that we know the slope, the perpendicular aspect of this equation will no longer be of any help.

To find the y-intercept, we need to substitute y and x with the point given.

Our current equation is— y= 1/4x+b

Let’s substitute the point into this. The point (-2,3) tells us that the y-value is 3 and the x-value is -2.

y= 1/4x+ b

3=1/4(-2)+b

3 = -1/2 +b
+1/2 +1/2
__________
3 1/2 =b

Step 3: Improper fraction

Being that it is preferred to leave fractions improper, let’s turn 3 1/2 into an improper fraction. This will turn into 7/2 (comment below if you need an explanation of how to do this)

Final answer: now that we know that the slope is 1/4 and the y-intercept is 7/2, we know that our equation will be y=1/4x+7/2

Hope this helps comment below for more questions:)

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin
atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224
