So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.
Answer:
C. -3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Irrational numbers: cannot be written as a fraction
Rational numbers: can be written as a fraction
The only option that contains a fraction, is C

Answer:
A) N = 20 ways
a 3-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 people in 20 ways.
B)N = 120 ways
The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 people in 120 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) the number of ways a 3-person subcommittee be selected from a committee of 6 people N;
Since there is no given order for the selection, this means that the order of selection is irrelevant. Therefore, this is a combination problem where order is not considered.
N = nCr
N = 6C3
N = 6!/3!(6-3)! = 6!/3!3!
N = 720/(6×6)
N = 20 ways
a 3-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 people in 20 ways.
B) the number of ways a president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 people N;
In this case, there is a given order of selection for the 3 posts. This is a permutation.
N = nPr
N = 6P3
N = 6!/(6-3)!
N = 6!/3!
N = 120 ways
The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 people in 120 ways.
