PLZZZZ HELP What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 3y=−4x+2 ?

$\bf 3y=-4x+2\implies y=\cfrac{-4x+2}{3} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}x+\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so the slope of that line above is really -4/3, now

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{4}\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{3}{4} \blacktriangleleft}}$

Change to standard form.<br> 2x=3y-8

Naily [24]

Standard form is Ax + By = C
Where A is a positive integer
The y needs to be moved to the left side so subtract 3y from both sides.
2x - 3y = -8

When two computers are working together, they can finish updating software in 9 minutes. How long would they take individually t

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

First computer takes x min. For 1 min it does 1/x part of work.

Second computer takes (x+24) min. For one min it does 1/(x+24) part of work.

Both computers for one min do (1/x+1/(x+24)) part of work.

At the same time, both computers for one min do 1/9 part of work.

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+24} = \frac{1}{9} 
\\ \\ \frac{x+24+x}{x(x+24)} = \frac{1}{9} 
\\ \\9(2x+24)=x^{2} +24x
\\ \\ 18x+216=x^{2} +24x
\\ \\ x^{2}+6x-216=0
\\ \\ D=b^{2}-4ac=36+4*216 = 900
\\ \\ x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{D} }{2a} = \frac{-6+/-30}{2} 
\\ \\ x_{1}=-18, x_{2}=12

We can use only positive number here. So, 

for the first computer x=12 min,

 for second computer x+24=12+24= 36 min

Answer 12 min and 36 min.$

german

Answer:

0.9940

Step-by-step explanation:

P(at least 1) = 1 − P(zero)

P(at least 1) = 1 − (1 − 0.64)⁵

P(at least 1) = 1 − (0.36)⁵

P(at least 1) = 0.9940

Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients

Temka [501]

<span>Expression- arithmetic or algebraic expression (ex, 12, 5 + 3x)
Terms- number of independent items in an expression
Coefficient- number or constant multiplied by a variable (ex. 3x....3 is coefficient)

Equivalent expression- two or more expressions with the same numerical value</span>
