Answer:

y = - x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to the line:  y = x + 5

must have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the slope of the given line. Then the slope of the perpendicular line must be "-1".

Now that we know the slope of the perpendicular line, we use the point (-7, 3) to complete the equation of the line:

y = -1 x + b

3 = -1 (-7) + b

then we solve for "b":

3 = 7 + b

3 - 7 = b

b = -4

Now we can write the total equation of the perpendicular line in slope-intercept form as:

y = - x - 4

Assuming that C is the hypotenuse...

The formula you want to use is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We start by squaring 10, which is 100. 5^2 is 25. Now that we have the values, we can do the equation.

100+25=c^2                  100+25=\sqrt{125}

Now, square root \sqrt{125}

C= 11.180

Grandma is trying out a new recipe for raisin bread. Each batch of bread dough makes three loaves, and each loaf contains 15 sli
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability process :

Where :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

Given that :

Each batch of bread = 3 loaves

Each loaf = 15 slices

Total slice per batch = 15 * 3 = 45 slices

Number of raising added = 100

Average number of raisin per slice, λ = 100/45 = 20/9

Hence,

Probability that a randomly chosen slice has no raising :

P(x = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

P(x = 0) = (e^-(100/45) * (100/45)^0) ÷ 0!

P(x = 0) = (0.1083680 * 1) / 1

P(x = 0) = 0.108

lesantik [10]
This value is in the positive quadrant meaning that all values remain positive. To answer this problem you must have an understanding of trig ratios being that tangent is opposite/adjacent. When you plot the points and draw a triangle using the origin of the point, you find that the adjacent value is 5 and opposite value is 15

What is the slope of a line parallel to 5x-3y=-10
Llana [10]
For parallel lines, slopes are equal.
5x - 3y = -10
3y = 5x + 10
y = 5/3 x + 10/3

Required slope = 5/3
