Answer:

Option A. y= -1/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

y=5x-2

The slope m is

m=5

step 2

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=5

(5)*m2=-1

m2=-1/5

therefore

The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line could be

y= -1/5x + 5

Thomas arrived at the library at 11:45 AMHe left 1 hour 40 minutes laterAt what time did Thomas leave the library?
andre [41]

Answer:

At 1:25 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas arrived at the library at 11:45 AM and he left 1 hour 40 minutes later.

So, 1 hour 40 minutes is equivalent to (60 + 40) = 100 minutes.

Now, after 15 minutes, the time will be 12 P.M.

So, remaining (100 - 15) = 85 minutes i.e. 1 hour and 25 minutes the time will be 1:25 P.M.

Therefore, Thomas leaves the library at 1:25 P.M. (Answer)

Allison works for a computer software company. She earns \$225$225dollar sign, 225 per week plus \$25$25dollar sign, 25 for each
postnew [5]

Answer:

7 software packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Signing amount = $ 225,

Additional amount for each software package = $ 25

Thus, the total amount for x software packages = signing amount + additional amount for x packages

= 225 + 25x

If total amount ≥ $ 400

225 + 25x ≥ 400

25x ≥ 400 - 225

25x ≥ 175

\implies x \geq \frac{175}{25}=7

Hence, the minimum number of software packages that she must sell would be 7.

Suppose you roll a fair six-sided die. Then you roll a fair eight-sided die. Match each probability to its correct value.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) matches \frac{5}{48}

B) matches \frac{1}{12}

C) matches \frac{1}{4}

D) matches \frac{1}{8}

E) matches \frac{5}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for the roll of six sided die and eight sided die:

(1,1),  (1,2),  (1,3),  (1,4),  (1,5),  (1,6),  (1,7),  (1,8)

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (2,7), (2,8)

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (3,7), (3,8)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (4,7), (4,8)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (5,7), (5,8)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6), (6,7), (6,8)

Therefore, the total number of outcomes (Sample space) = 48

Probability  =\frac{Number Of Ways Event Can Occur}{Sample Space}

A) The possible ways of obtaining both numbers are odd numbers and their product is greater than 10 are: (3,5), (3,7), (5,3), (5,5), (5,7)

Total number of possible ways = 5

Sample space = 48

The probability that both numbers are odd numbers and their product is greater than 10:

                                 =\frac{5}{48}

B) The possible ways of obtaining second number is twice the first number are: (1,2), (2,4), (3,6), (4,8)

Total number of possible ways = 4

Sample space = 48

The probability that the second number is twice the first number:                  

                       =\frac{4}{48}  =\frac{1}{12}

C) The possible ways of getting numbers whose sum is a multiple of 4 are: (1,3), (1,7), (2,2), (2,6), (3,1), (3,5), (4,4), (4,8), (5,3), (5,7), (6,2), (6,6)

Total number of possible ways = 12

Sample space = 48

The probability of getting numbers whose sum is a multiple of 4:

                       =\frac{12}{48}  =\frac{1}{4}

D) The possible ways of getting the sum of the two numbers is greater than 11 are: (4,8), (5,7), (5,8), (6,6), (6,7), (6,8)

Total number of possible ways = 6

Sample space = 48

the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 11:

                      =\frac{6}{48}  =\frac{1}{8}

E) The possible ways of getting the second number rolled is less than the first number are: (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,5), (4,6), (5,6)

Total number of possible ways = 15

Sample space = 48

The probability that the second number rolled is less than the first number:

                 =\frac{15}{48}  =\frac{5}{16}
