Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

y - 2x + 7

Coordinates = (5,8)

Find:

Perpendicular equation

Computation:

y = mx + c

y - 2x + 7

y = 2x - 7

So,

m = 2

The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

So,

For,

Coordinates = (5,8)

y = mx + c

8 = (-1/2)(5) + c

8 = -5/2 + c

c = 8 + 5/2

c = 21 /2

So,

y = mx + c

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Can you step by step solve 20x+12=4x-16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x = - $\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = $\frac{-28}{16}$ = - $\frac{7}{4}$ [ = - 1.75 ]

a line passed through the point (8,9) and has a slope of -3/4. write an equation in slope intercept form.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

y = -3/4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 9 = -3/4 (x-8)

y-9 = -3/4x -6

y = -3/4x - 6 + 9

y = -3/4x + 3

Komok [63]

Answer: Experimental probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two kinds of probability: Theoretical probability and Experimental probability.

To calculate theoretical probability we divide favorable outcomes by total outcomes.

To calculate experimental probability we divide number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

Here, A child gets 20 heads out of 30 tosses of a coin. If he declared the chance of getting a head with that coin were 2/3, which is dependent on the activity he performed, thus it is an experimental probability.
