The answer is C, y= -3/2x-3 and y=-2/3x+4.

A way to remember if a pair of lines are perpendicular or not is by looking at the two slopes of the equation. In both of those equations, we see that 3/2 and -2/3 are negative reciprocals. Perpendicular slopes are always negative reciprocals meaning that only answer C is the correct one.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because perpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slopes. So, 3/2 is the opposite reciprocal of -2/3 since it is negative and that is the opposite sign. Then, it is the reciprocal of the fraction since the numerator and the denominator are switched. If you check the other answer options, you will see that none of the slopes are the exact opposite reciprocal.

Answer: 41.832

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to write decimals without decimals when multiplying. for this I would do

3486 x 12 which equals 41832 then You would move the decimal up from 3 spaces from the 2 from 41832 which would put the decimal between the 1 and 8

In Wellington, a city of 360,000 citizens, there has been an outbreak of vampires and werewolves There are 3,000 people infected

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.0286 or 2.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people that have werewolfism is 21,000.

Of those 21,000, 600 also have vampirism, while the remaining 20,400 do not. Therefore, the probability that someone has vampirism, given that they have werewolfism is:

$P(V|W)=\frac{N_{V\cap W}}{N_W}\\P(V|W)=\frac{600}{21,000} \\P(V|W)=0.0286=2.86\%$
