Consider the line -x+3y=1

The line
<span>-x+3y=1 can be moved into slope intercept form to get slope.
slope is what matters for questions that asks about perpendicular/parallel...

isolate y to get slope intercept form

</span>
<span>-x+3y=1
add x to both sides
3y = x + 1
divide both sides by 3
y = (x+1)/3
y = x/3 + 1/3

the slope is 1/3 because x/3 is the same as 1/3 * x.

the line that is perpendicular to this line has a slope that is the negative recirpocal of the original slope like.

perpendicular line slope: -3. (reciprocal of 1/3 is 3; then make that negative).

Told that this perp line passes through (7,-5), using slope intercept form y = mx + b with unknown y-intercept b value:

y = -3x + b

since (7,-5) means at x = 7, y = -5, plug those numbers in to solve for b

-5 = -3(7) + b
-5 = -21 + b
b = -5 + 21
b = 16

perpendicular line:
y = -3x + 16

for the parallel line has the same slope as the original
slope of parallel line: 1/3

we are told that parpall line goes through (7,-5) so using the unfinished slope-intercept form y = mx + b with unfinishe dinfo: we have

y = 1/3 x + b

since at x = 7 we have y = -5, plug it in

-5 = (1/3)(7) + b
-5 = 7/3 + b
b = -5 - 7/3
b = -15/3 - 7/3 .... same denominator for fraction add/subtract
b = -22/3

parallel line equation:
y = 1/3x - 22/3

In the New York State daily lottery game, a sequence of 4 (not necessarily different) digits in the range of 0-9 is selected at
devlian [24]

Answer:

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

4 digits, all different

For the first digit, it can be any of them, so there are 10 possible

For the second digit, it can be any of them other than the first digit. So there are 9 possible.

For the third digit, it can be any of them, other than the first and the second. So there are 8 possible.

By the same logic, 7 possible digits for the fourth. So

D = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

Total outcomes:

4 digits, each can be any of them(10 from 0 - 9).

So

T = 10*10*10*10 = 10000

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{5040}{10000} = 0.5040

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.

Mr. Hollins determines that he gives away $800 each month. If he gives away 16% of his budget, then how much is his overall budg
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

5000 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his budget be x

16% of x is 800 dollars

.16 * x = 800

Divide each side by .16

.16x/.16 = 800/.16

x=5000

His budget is 5000 dollars

How many real number solutions does the equation y=2x^2−8x+8 have?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1 real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x^2−8x+8

We can use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions

b^2 -4ac

a =2  b = -8  c=8

(-8)^2 - 4(2)(8)

64 - 64

0

Since the discriminant is 0 there is 1 real solution

>0 there are 2 real solutions

< 0 two complex solutions

Find a &amp; b if the point p(6,4)&amp;q(2,3) lie on the graph of ax+by=20
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a = - 2 , b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points p and q lie on the graph then they satisfy the equation

(6, 4 ) , substitute x = 6 , y = 4 into the equation

6a + 4b = 20 → (1)

(2, 3 ) , substitute x = 2, y = 3 into the equation

2a + 3b = 20 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate a

- 6a - 9b = - 60 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 - 5b = - 40

- 5b = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

b = 8

Substitute b = 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (1)

6a + 4(8) = 20

6a + 32 = 20 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

6a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

a = - 2
