Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 2).

Mathematics

3 0

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines: Their gradients are reciprocals.

This means:

  • -1 ÷ Gradient 1 = Gradient 2
  • Gradient 1 * Gradient 2 = -1

Gradient of the given equation is 3.

-1 / 3 = -1/3

Gradient of the equation we're finding is -1/3

y = -1/3x + c

Substitute the coordinates in to find the value of c

2 = -1/3(6) + c

2 = -2 + c

2 + 2 = c

4 = c

y = -1/3x + 4

One serving of trail mix has 67 grams of carbohydrates, which is 22% of the recommended daily amount. What is the total recommen
DaniilM [7]

For this case we propose a rule of three:

67 grams -----------> 22%

x grams --------------> 100%

Where:

The variable "x" represents the recommended amount of daily carbohydrates.

So, we have:

x = \frac {100 * 67} {22}\\x = 304.5455

Rounding we have the recommended amount, in grams, of carbohydrates: 305 grams

Answer:

305 grams

Three-quarters of a pound of candy cost 66 cents. Find the cost of one pound<br> of candy.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound

Suppose that 35 people are divided in a random mannerinto two teams in such a way that one team contains10 people and the other
Alisiya [41]

To be precise, the size of your sample space is <span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span>. This number does go on the bottom of the fraction, and what goes on top is the size of the event. Break up the event into independent events 1. choose the 2 defective bulbs, and 2. choose the remaining 8 bulbs. I don't have much choice in event 1. There is only one way to choose both of the defective balls. In other words, <span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span></span> (choosing 2 defective bulbs from a set of 2 defective bulbs). For event 2, there are <span><span>24−2=22</span><span>24−2=22</span></span> nondefective bulbs, and I must choose <span>88</span> of them, so that's <span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span>. Finally, since events 1 and 2 are independent, we multiply the answers for the combined event: <span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span></span>

<span><span>P=<span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span><span>P=<span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span></span>

Or, since <span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span>=1</span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span>=1</span></span>,

<span><span>P=<span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span><span>P=<span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span></span>
