Determine the equation of a line through the point (3,-4) that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{3}, thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

The probability of pulling out a bag of colored marbles is 2:5. If you were to pull colored marbles out of the bag one at a time
olchik [2.2K]

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

The probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5. If you were to pull colored marbles out of the bag one at a time, and putting the marble back each time for 600 tries, approximately how many time would you select a green marble?? ( explanation too) 7th grade Math

Answer:

We would approximately pick a green marble 240 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the question the probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5

Let us denote the number of trials as X

Now the approximately number of times a green marble can be selected would be

=2/5 times

From the question we are given 600 trials

which implies our x=600

Therefore, the number of times we would pick a green marble is:

2/5 × 600 times

≈ 240 times

Therefore, we would approximately pick a green marble 240 times

John uses 8/6 ounces of milk for his recipe . Mya uses 4/3 ounces of milk for her recipe. who uses more milk? explain your answe

To compare the fractions we need to find a common denomanator.
This means we need to find a common number (to the denomanator) in each number set of times tables.
In this case we can use 6 as a common denomator.

One of out fractions is already out of 6 so we just need to convert the other one. 
We can just double 4/3 to give us 8/6.
 
We can now compare the data, we have 8/6 and 8/6.
These fractions show that both John and Mya use the same amount of milk for their recipies, this being 8/6 or 1 1/3 as a mixed number.

xeze [42]

Answer:

Short leg = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse = 2x

short leg = x

long leg = x√3

Hypotenuse = 2x=12

x = 12/2

x=6

short leg = x = 6
