Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpindicular lines must be negative reciprocals of each other -- while -4 and 4 are negative to each other, the negative recipricocal for -4 is 1/4 and -1/4 for 4.

The slopes of parallel lines must be the same, so these are not parallel.

Hi there!

Since

3 × 7 = 21

and

3 × 6 = 18

and

18 < 20 < 21,

and since

the answer is 19 and 21.

Hope this helps!

Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 9?

AVprozaik [17]

What combination of numbers are needed in order to get a sum of 9?
It can be:
• First die is 6 , second die is 3
• First die is 3 , second die is 6
• First die is 4 , second die is 5
• First die is 5 , second die is 4

How many possible combinations are made? Yep, 4 possible combinations.

Recall the formula for probability
$Probability = \frac{Number of desired outcomes}{Number of all possible outcomes}$

There are 4 desired number of outcomes.
How about the total possible outcomes?
• How many numbers are possible to appear when the first die is rolled?
Answer: 6
• What about the second die?
Answer: Also 6
• Therefore, total possible outcomes = 6 * 6 = 36 outcomes

You can now solve for the probability.

$Probability = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}$ or approximately 11.11%

A jar holds 128 fluid ounces of juice. The label says the jar has 16 servings. How many fluid ounces are needed for 80 servings?

Bumek [7]

There are 16 servings for each 128 fluid ounces of juice.

Divide 80 servings by 16 servings, and 5 should be the quotient. Therefore, there are 5 jars of juice. Multiply 128 by 5 since 128 fluid ounces are in one jar. The answer should be 640 fluid ounces.
