Answer:

y=-1/3x-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean perpendicular to x=-3.

In that case, we would flip and take the negative. A perpendicular slope would be x=-1/3

Now we plug the point (4,-7) into the equation

y=mx+b

y=-1/3x+b

-7=-1/3*4+b

-7=-4/3+b

b= -17/3

The whole equation would be:

y=-1/3x-17/3

I hope this helps! :)

A bag holds 1 blue block and 3 yellow blocks. How many green blocks should be added to the bag to make the probability of random

Drupady [299]

$n$ - the number of green blocks which is equal to the number of favourable events
$1+3+n=4n$ - the number of all blocks, which is equal to the number of all possible outcomes

$P(A)=\dfrac{n}{4+n}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\
1\cdot( 4+n)=2\cdot n\\
4+n=2n\\
2n-n=4\\
n=4

When you multiply any whole number by the one before it, the result is always an even number.

polet [3.4K]

Verrrrrrry interesting ! / / / Every multiple of an even number is another even number. When you take any whole number and the one 'before' it ... no matter which direction 'before' means .... one of the numbers is even. So their product is a multiple of an even number, and it must be another even number.
