Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

13. Solve 2/3 + 5/6 and put answer in simplest<br> form.<br> O A. 11/2<br> B.<br> c. 76<br> D.776
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

3/2 or 1 + 1/2

i havent done fractions in a long time but this is what i got from memory

you turn the 2/3 into 4/6 so they can easily be added together to get 9/6 which can be simplified to 3/2 or in proper form 1 + 1/2

The table shows the relationship between the cost of renting a car from the Wrecko Car Rental Company and the number of days for
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The cost of renting the car for 20 days is $481

Step-by-step explanation:

The table of values can be formed as follows;

Day,   Cost

1,         $44

2,        $67

3,        $90

4,        $113

7,        $182

10,      $251

From the given values and the scatter plot, there is a straight line relationship between the cost and the number of days of rental of a car.

The line of best fit is therefore a straight line and from the constant increase in cost ($23) for each extra day of rental, it is possible to find the slope, m, of the data as follows;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

(x₁, y,) and (x₂, y₂) can be taken as (1, $44) and (3, $90) respectively to give;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{90-44}{3-1} = \dfrac{46}{2} = 23 \ as \ stated \ above

The equation in slope and intercept form is therefore, y  - 44 = 23×(x - 1), which gives;

y - 44 = 23·x - 23

y = 23·x - 23 + 44 = 23·x + 21

The cost of renting the car for 20 days is then;

10×23 + 21 = $481

The cost of renting the car for 20 days = $481.

A product is made up of three parts that act independently of each other. If any of the parts is defective, the product is defec
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.

Step-by-step explanation:

A product consists of 3 parts. If any one of the part is defective the whole product is considered as defective.

The probability of the 3 parts being defective are:

P (Part 1 is defective) = 0.05

P (part 2 is defective) = 0.10 P (part 3 is defective) = 0.15

Compute the probability that a product is defective as follows:

P (Defective product) = 1 - P (non-defective product)

= 1 - P (None of the 3 parts are defective)

= 1 - P (Part 1 not defective) × P (Part 2 not defective) × P (Part 1 not defective)

=1-[(1-0.05)\times(1-0.10)\times (1-0.15)]\\=1-[0.95\times0.90\times0.85]\\=1-0.72675\\=0.27325\\\approx0.2733

Thus, the probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.

A truck hauls wheat to a storage granary. It carries a total of 4,970 bushels of wheat in 14 trips. How much does the truck haul
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

355 bushels.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the amount of wheat the truck hauls each trip, we need to divide the total amount of bushels of wheat  between the total of trips of the truck.

The total amount of bushels is 4970 and the total of trips is 14.

Then, the amount of bushels for each trip would be 4970/14 = 355.

Therefore, the truck hauls 355 bushels of wheat each trip.
