We know that a line is perpendicular to another line if one slope is the opposite reciprocal  of the other. So, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=1/2x-3 would by -2/1 or -2. Now, to find the y intercept, plug in the coordinate (1, -1) to the equation y = -2x + b. 

-1 = -2(1) + b
 
-1 = -2 + b

1 = b

Now we know the y intercept and slope of the new line, which is enough to make the equation. y = -2x + 1 is your answer. 

Hope this helps!! :)

Y = 1/2x - 3. Slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So the perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,-1)...x = 1 and y = -1
now we sub and find b, the y int
-1 = -2(1) + b
-1 = -2 + b
-1 + 2 = b
1 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 1

— 3х + 7 &lt; 19 ?<br> Help plz
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

— 3х + 7 < 19

Subtract 7 from each side

— 3х + 7-7 < 19-7

-3x < 12

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 > 12/-3

x > -4

You have a wooden rod which is 24 1/2 inches long. Carlos needs a piece which is 8 3/4 inches long and Amanda needs a piece whic
ipn [44]

Answer:

8 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the rod = 24 1/2 inches

Carlos = 8 3/4 inches

Amanda = 6 3/8 inches

length of the rod remaining = Total length - ( Carlos + Amanda)

= 24 1/2 - (8 3/4 + 6 3/8)

= 49/2 - (35/4 + 51/8)

= 49/2 - ( 75+51/8)

= 49/2 - 126/8

= 196-126/8

= 70/8

= 8 6/8 inches

= 8 3/4 inches

Length of rod remaining = 8 3/4 inches

The credit department of Lion's Department Store in Anaheim, California, reported that 30% of their sales are cash, 30% are paid
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Hence the probability that she paid cash is  0.105

Step-by-step explanation:  

P(cash) = 0.3  

P(credit card ) = 0.3  

P(debit card ) = 0.4  

P ( more than $50 | cash ) = 0.2  

P (more than $50 | credit card ) =0.9  

P (more than $ 50 |debit card ) = 0.6  

P ( more than $50) = P ( more than $50 | cash )* P (cash) + P (more than $50 credit card ) * P(credit card ) + P (more than $ 50 |debit card )* P(debit card )  

= 0.2 * 0.3 + 0.9 * 0.3 + 0.6* 0.4  

= 0.57  

P ( more than $50) = P ( more than $50 | cash )* P (cash) / P ( more than $50)  

= 0.2* 0.3 / 0.57  

= 0.105
