Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is really super super simple as long as you know the rules for finding a perpedicular slope from a given line. The perpendicular slope of a line is the opposite reciprocal of the given slope. Our given slope is 3/5, therefore, the perpendicular slope is -5/3. There's only one line with that exact slope, so the choice is the last one. (BTW, check the coordinate you gave. It should be

(15, -5), not (15, 5)!)

Elimination_4x_2y=14 _10x+7y=_24

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-4x-2y=14

-10x+7y=-24

Now, to solve it by elimination:

$-4x-2y=14$ ......(1)

$-10x+7y=-24$ ......(2)

So, we multiply the equation (1) by 7 we get:

$-28x-14y=98$

And, we multiply the equation (2) by 2 we get:

$-20x+14y=-48$

Now, adding both the new equations:

$-28x-14y+(-20x+14y)=98+(-48)$

$-28x-14y-20x+14y=98-48$

$-28x-20x-14y+14y=50$

$-8x=50$

Dividing both the sides by -8 we get:

$x=-\frac{50}{8}$

Now, putting the value of $x$ in equation (1):

$-4x-2y=14$

$-4(-\frac{50}{8})-2y=14$

$\frac{200}{8} -2y=14$

$25-2y=14$

Subtracting both sides by 25 we get:

$-2y=-11$

Dividing both sides by -2 we get:

$y=\frac{11}{2}$

Therefore, the answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

Briony invests some money. Interest is paid on the money at a rate of 2% per annum for the first year and 1% per annum for the s

nalin [4]

Answer:

Brionny invested £8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$

In this question:

We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.

First year:

Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.

So the interest earned is:

$E = P*I*t = P*0.02*1 = 0.02P$

The total amount at the end of the first year is:

$T = E + P = 0.02P + P = 1.02P$

Second year:

We have that:

$P = 1.02P$

The interest earned is of:

$E = P*I*t = 1.02P*0.01*1 = 0.0102P$

The total amount is:

$T = E + P = 0.0102P + 1.02P = 1.0302P$

After two years, the investment is worth £8653.68 How much did Briony invest?

$1.0302P = 8653.68$

$P = \frac{8653.68}{1.0302}$

$P = 8400$

Brionny invested £8400.

Answer:

P(F|A) = 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(F|A) = P(F&A)/P(A) = 7%/20% = 0.35

P(F|A) = 35%
