What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= - 4/5x +3 and passes through the point (4,12)?
1 answer:
Answer:
y = x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - x + 3 is in this form
with m = -
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
=
, hence
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (4, 12) into the partial equation
12 = 5 + c ⇒ c = 12 - 5 = 7
y = x + 7 ← equation of perpendicular line

Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
- Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1
We also know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Given the lines
1)
- y = 6х - 3
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 6х - 3:
m₁=6
- y = - 1/6x + 7
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = - 1/6x + 7:
m₂=-1/6
As
m₁ × m₂ = -1
6 × - 1/6 = -1
-1 = -1
Thus, the lines y = 6х - 3 and y = - 1/6x + 7 are perpendicular.
2)
- y = 3x + 2
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3x + 2:
m₁=3
- 2y = 6x - 6
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y=3x-3
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=3x-3:
m₂=3
As the slopes of y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are equal.
i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 3 = 3
Thus, the lines y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are paralle.
3)
- 8x - 2y = 3
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y = 4x - 3/2
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 4x - 3/2:
m₁=4
- x + 4y = - 1
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y=-1/4x-1/4
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=-1/4x-1/4:
m₂=-1/4
As
m₁ × m₂ = -1
4 × - 1/4 = -1
-1 = -1
Thus, the lines 8x - 2y = 3 and x + 4y = - 1 are perpendicular.
4)
- 3x+2y = 5
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y = -3/2x + 5/2
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -3/2x + 5/2:
m₁=-3/2
- 3y + 2x = - 3
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y = -2/3x - 1
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -2/3x - 1:
m₂=-2/3
As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.
5)
- y - 5 = 6x
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y=6x+5
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x+5:
m₁=6
- y - 6x = - 1
simplifying to write in slope-intercept form
y=6x-1
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x-1:
m₂=6
As the slopes of y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are equal.
i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 6 = 6
Thus, the lines y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are paralle.
6)
- y = 3х + 9
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3х + 9:
m₁=3
- y = -1/3x - 4
Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 1/3x - 4:
m₂=1/3
As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.
Answer:
0.281 = 28.1% probability a given player averaged less than 190.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
A bowling leagues mean score is 197 with a standard deviation of 12.
This means that
What is the probability a given player averaged less than 190?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 190.
has a p-value of 0.281.
0.281 = 28.1% probability a given player averaged less than 190.
