What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-8 and goes through the points (2,5)?

1 answer:

6 0

For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1

y = 2x - 8 has a slope of 2, so the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2

Required equation is y - 5 = -1/2 (x - 2)
y = -1/2 x + 1 + 5
y = -1/2 x + 6

ella [17]

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain new type of business succeeds 60% of the time.

3 such businesses are tested for success.

Since these three businesses open (where they do not compete with each other, so it is reasonable to believe that their relative successes would be independent). we can say X no of successful businesses is Binomial

with p = 0.6 and n =3

Required probability

=The probability that all 3 businesses succeed is:

= $P(X=3)\\= 0.6^3\\= 0.216$

law states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can only be transferred from one form to another form. (Coal - Fuel) Chemical energy is converted into heat energy during combustion. With the help of heat generated, the water is converted into steam.
