Answer:

  • incorrectly; used 1 in the division instead of -1
  • incorrectly; evaluated higher powers of -1 incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

The result each should have obtained is ...

  a +10 = 17

  a = 7

Braulio's mistake was in using 1 as his divisor instead of -1. His bottom row should have been 1, 4, a-4, 1-a, a +10.

Zahra's mistake was improperly evaluating higher powers of -1. Her evaluation should have been 1 -5 +a +3 +11 = a +10.

Tina will roll the cube, spin the spinner, and flip the coin one time each to form an outcome.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube will have six sides, therefore the numbers would run from 1 to 6 on a cube. There are only 3 numbers after 3 up until 6. So it is 3.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = (-1/3)x -1 and passes through the point (1, 5)?
Anit [1.1K]

bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so


\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{slope}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{-\cfrac{1}{3}}x-1} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill


\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{1}\implies 3}}


so we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3 and runs through (1,5)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=3(x-1) \\\\\\ y-5=3x-3\implies y=3x+2
