What is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=(4/9)x-2 that passes through the point (4,3)?

<span>y=(4/9)x-2
This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope. 
A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the slope.
So if the slope here is 4/9, then the perpendicular line's slope will be -9/4.

Now that you have the slope (-9/4) and a point (4, 3), you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
y - y</span>₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = (-9/4)(x - 4)
y - 3 = (-9/4)x + 9
y = (-9/4)x + 12

So the answer will be:
C. <span>y= -(9/4)x+12</span>

Tomtit [17]
The domain is the value of x. In this case, -3≤x≤7
the range is the value of y. in this case, -1≤y≤9

this is not a function, because the same x value has two corresponding y values. For example, when x=5, y=0 or y=8

It IS a function if every x value has only one corresponding y value.

A group of student has 20 Male and 10 females what is the ratio of female-to-male ​
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The ratio of female-to-male is 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 female students and 20 male students. If we were to divide each number by 10, we would get 1 and 2, respectively. That means for every 1 female student, there are 2 male students. The ratio would then be 1:2.

A swim team consists of 7 boys and 6 girls. A relay team of 4 swimmers is chosen at random from the team members. What is the pr
AveGali [126]

Answer:

21/55

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are already 2 girls on the relay team, what is left is to select 2 individuals be it a girl or a boy from the remaining 7 boys and 4 boys.

This can be done in 11C2 ways, and this equal 55 ways.

Now, we were told that we want exactly 2 boys on the team to join the other 2 girls already on the team. This mean we select 2 boys from the 7 boys. This can be done in 7C2 ways and this equals 21 ways.

Our probability is now 21/55
