Answer:

In the equation y=mx+b m is the slope of the line.

Therefore the coefficient in each of these equations is the slope.

A line with a perpendicular slope must have the inverse opposite of the actual line. For example if a line has a slope of 5, a perpendicular line to that line must have a slope of -1/5. If a line has a slope of 10, the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/10. If a line has a slope of 2 then the inverse opposite is -1/2 and that is the slope of the perpendicular line.

B is the only answer with the correct slope so B is the answer.

Solve for x: - 2 - 5/4 x = 13

eduard

To answer the problem you take 13 and minus -2 to get 15 and divide 15 by 5/4 and you get 12.
Hope I help. :)

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6?

Reptile [31]

we are given

$f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6$

We will use rational root theorem to find factors

We can see that

Leading coefficient =1

constant term is 6

so, we will find all possible factors of 6

$6=\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 6$

now, we will check each terms

At x=-2:

We can use synthetic division

we get

$f(-2)=0$

so, x+2 will be factor

and we can write our expression from synthetic division as

$f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6=(x+2)(x^2+2x+3)$

$f(x)=(x+2)(x^2+2x+3)$

now, we can find factor of remaining terms

$x^2+2x+3=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

we can compare our equation with quadratic equation

we get

$a=1,b=2,c=3$

now, we can plug these values

$x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=-1+\sqrt{2}i$

$x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=-1-\sqrt{2}i$

so, we get

$x=-1+\sqrt{2}i,\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}i$

so, we can write factor as

$x^2+2x+3=(x-(-1+\sqrt{2}i))(x-(-1-\sqrt{2}i))$

so, we get completely factored form as

$f(x)=(x+2)(x-(-1+\sqrt{2}i))(x-(-1-\sqrt{2}i))$ ...............Answer

Please show all the working out.

Elanso [62]

11/26 chance that the student plays both instruments.

First, add the amount of students that just play flute or piano:

3 + 5 = 8

Then add 8 to the amount that does not play either instrument:

8 + 7 = 15

Then do:

26 - 15 = 11

Then place 11 over the amount of people:

11/26

How can you use bar graphs to compare quantities in real life situations

BlackZzzverrR [31]

You can illustrate it by comparing two quantites in a correlational basis. Like the price times the time of how a courier delivers a package or a internet speed vs the data cap and land area and the investment.

Bar graph display directly the variables which are the rate and ratio of the numbers to visualize and display the results, these contrasting the different outcomes. On the contrary, histogram is used in grouped frequency parameters. Moreover, as little as the given five parameters or data set this will be ineffective and will result to a bar graph only and basically, the suited option is the aforementioned vertical graph to display the numbers. To expound on the definition of histogram it is used when the frequency is grouped. For example the data set of 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20 this now can be used and applied to illustrate histogram because of the number and quantity of the given data.<span>
