Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 2x-y+6=0 through the point (0, -2)

3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first rearrange so it's easier to look at: y = 2x +6

To find the perpendicular slope you need to find the negative reciprocal of m so flip and change the sign:

m= -1/2

Next plug in the point (0, -2) into the point-slope equation of a line:

y2 - y1 =  \frac{ - 1}{2} (x2 - x1) \\

y-(-2) = -1/2 (x-0)

y + 2 = -1/2x

y = -1/2x - 2

Therefore the equation is y = -1/2x - 2

A Starburst candy package contains 12 individual candy pieces. Each piece is equally likely to be berry, orange, lemon, or cherr
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

(a) Each piece is “berry or cherry” with probability p = 1/2. The proba-

bility of only berry or cherry pieces is p

12 = 1/4096.

Step-by-step explanation:

(b) Each piece is “not cherry” with probability 3/4. The probability all 12

pieces are “not pink” is (3/4)12 = 0.0317.

(c) For i = 1, 2, . . . , 6, let Ci denote the event that all 12 pieces are flavor i.

Since each piece is flavor i with probability 1/4, P[Ci

] = (1/4)12. Since

Ci and Cj are mutually exclusive,

P[F1] = P[C1 ∪ C2 ∪ · · · ∪ C4] = X

4

i=1

P[Ci

] = 4 P[C1] = (1/4)11

The base area is 14 in ² 
The volume is 30.8 in ³ 
For a prism of any cross-sectional area,
Volume = base area * height
=>
30.8 = 14 * height
Solve for height
Height = 30.8/14 = 2.2 inches.

Ans. Joseph has to make the box 2.2 inches high.

19.  Hexagonal prism
Given 
Cross section area = 17.01 m ² 
Height = 16.2 m

Using above formula for volume,
Volume = 17.01 m ² * 16.2 m
=275.562 m ³ 

Answer: The volume of stone is 275. 56 m ³ approximately.
