Answer:

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Given point P(6, 6)

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P

Solution:

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

Now, we compare the given equation by standard form y = mx +c

So, slope of the line m_{1} = \frac{2}{3}, and

y-intercept c=0

We know that the slope of the perpendicular line m_{1}\times m_{2}  = -1

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{m_{1}}

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }

m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

So, the slope of the perpendicular line m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

From the above statement, line passes through the point P(6, 6).

Using slope intercept formula to know y-intercept.

y=mx+c

Substitute point P(x_{1}, y_{1})=P(6, 6) and m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

6=-\frac{3}{2}\times 6 +c

6=-3\times 3 +c

c=6+9

c=15

So, the y-intercept of the perpendicular line c=15

Using point slope formula.

y=mx+c

Substitute m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2} and c=15 in above equation.

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Therefore: the equation of the perpendicular line y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

A​ single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 5.
Svetach [21]

The probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 5 is 5/6.

Probability is the likelihood of the occurrence of an event. It is the ratio of number of events to number of possible outcomes.

The possible outcome from rolling a six-sided die is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

P(odd number) = 3/6; P(less than 5) = 4/6; P(odd number and less than 5) = 2/6

Hence:

P(odd number or less than 5) = 3/6 + 4/6 - 2/6 = 5/6

The probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 5 is 5/6.
