Subtract to find the amount of the increase:

168 - 140 = 28

The increase in price was $28.

Now divide the amount of increase by the original price.

This will give you a decimal, then multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:

28 / 140 = 0.2

0.2 x 100 = 20% increase.

If an urn has 5 white balls 10 red balls what is the probability that 5 randomly selected balls contain exactly 3 white balls?

kondaur [170]

Answer:

0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Without Mincing words let us dive straight into the solution to the question above. We are given the following information which is going to aid in solving this particular question.

====> It is given, that there are 5 white balls and 10 red balls. Hence, the number of the total balls = 5 white balls + 10 red balls = 15 balls.

Therefore, the probability that 5 randomly selected balls contain exactly 3 white balls = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\3\end{array}\right]$ × $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}10\\2&\end{array}\right]$ ÷ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}15\\3\\\end{array}\right]$ = 450 ÷ 3003 = 0.15

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.

gregori [183]

Greetings!

Answer:

2y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the slope of the current equation.

This is the number in front of the x.

Seeing as this is -2x, the slope of this line is -2

When finding the slope of a line perpendicular, you need to find the $\frac{-1}{slope}$

So, in this case it is:

$\frac{-1}{-2}$

The negatives cancel out which leave $\frac{1}{2}$

So the gradient is $\frac{1}{2}$

Now, to find the equation of a line, you need to use:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where ya and x1 are the values in the coordinates (2 , -2)

So y1 = -2, x1 = 2, and m is a half. Plug these values in:

y - - 2 = $\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

We need to get rid of the half so we multiply the whole equation by 2:

2y - - 4 = (x - 2)

The minus and the negative turn into a positive:

2y + 4 = x - 2

And now simply move the +4 over to the other side, making it a negative:

2y = -2 - 4 + x

Simplify:

2y = x - 6

<h3>So the equation of the line is 2y = x - 6</h3>

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line 2x -3y = 12 and passes through the point (

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, start by finding the slope of the original line. You can do this by solving for y.

2x - 3y = 12

-3y = -2x + 12

y = 2/3x - 4

Now that we have a slope of 2/3, we know that the perpendicular slope is -3/2 (since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes). We can use this and the new point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -3/2(x - 2)

y - 6 = -3/2x + 3

y = -3/2x + 9
