<u>Answer: </u>

Equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3) is  y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

<u>Solution: </u>

The slope - intercept form equation of line is given as

y = mx+c    ----- (1)

Where m is the slope of the line. The coefficient of “x” is the value of slope of the line.

Given that

3x  -y = 4          

Converting above equation in slope intercept form,

y = 3x - 4 ----  (2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get slope of equation (2) is m=3

Consider equation of the line which is perpendicular to equation (2) is y=m_{1} x+b --- eqn 3

If two lines having slope m1 and m1 are perpendicular then relation between their slope is m_{1} m_{2}=-1

That is if slope of the line (2) is 3 then slope of equation (3) is  m_{1}=-\frac{1}{3}

On substituting value of m1 in equation (3), we get

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+b --- eqn 4

Given that equation (4) passes through (2, -3) that is x = 2 and y = -3. So on substituting value of x and y in equation (4),

-3=-\frac{2}{3}+b

On simplifying above equation,

\begin{aligned} b &=\frac{2}{3}-3 \\ b &=\frac{2-9}{3} \\ b &=-\frac{7}{3} \end{aligned}

On substituting value of b in equation (4),

y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

Hence equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3)  is y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

HELP I NEED THIS ANSWER FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MY BRAIN IS ON 1 BRAIN CELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1.We say a coin is fair if it has probability 1/2 of landing heads up and probability 1/2 of landing tails up. What is the probability that if we flip two fair coins, both will land heads up? It seems plausible that each should be equally likely. If so, each has probability of 1/4.

2.The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25.

3.his states that the probability of the occurrence of two mutually exclusive events is the sum of their individual probabilities. As you can see from the picture, the probability of getting one head and one tail on the toss of two coins is 0
