Answer:

  x - 4y = 0 . . . in standard form

  y = (1/4)x . . . in slope-intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (9 -(-7))/(-1 -3) = 16/-4 = -4

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of this:

  desired slope = -1/m = -1/-4 = 1/4

This can be used in the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

  y -h = m(x -k) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your perpendicular line has a slope of 1/4 and goes through point (4, 1), so its equation can be written as ...

  y -1 = (1/4)(x -4)

  y = (1/4)x -1 +1

  y = (1/4)x

In standard form, this is ...

  4y = x

  x -4y = 0

James is selecting a marble. James chooses a marble at random and then replaces it. He then selects a second marble at random. W
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a solid black marbles both times;

P = 9/100

Attached is the completed question;

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of solid black marbles = 3

Total number of marbles = 10

The probability of selecting a solid black marble;

P1 = 3/10

With the assumption that the marbles are replaced before next selection.

The probability of selecting a solid black marbles both times;

P = P1 × P1 = 3/10 × 3/10 = 9/100

P = 9/100
