Answer:

<h3>-6</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slope of the first line be m1

Let the slope of the second line be m2

If both lines are perpendicular, then;

m1m2 = -1

Get m1, the slope of the line passing through A (-2, 0) and B (2,-k).

m1 = y2-y1/x2-x1

m1 = -k-0/2-(-2)

m1 = -k/4

Get the slope of the line 3y + 2x = 5

Rewrite the equation;

3y = -2x + 5

y = -2/3 x + 5/3

Hence the slope of the line m2 is -2/3

Since m1m2 = -1, then;

-k/4(-2/3) = -1

2k/12 = -1

k/6 = -1

k = -6

Hence the value of k is -6

Find an equation of the line described below. Write the equation in slope-intercept form (solved for y), when possible.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form would be y = m(x - 1/5) - 8.

<h3>What is slope intercept form a straight line?</h3>

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is used to get the equation of a line. We need to know the slope of the line and the intercept where the line crosses the y-axis in order to use the slope-intercept formula.

One of the most popular ways to represent a line's equation is in the slope-intercept form of a straight line. When the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept are known, the slope-intercept formula can be used to determine the equation of a line ( the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis). The equation of a line is the equation that each point on the line fulfills.

Since the slope is undefined in the given question, let us consider it as m.

Therefore, slope=m

Given points are 1/5 and -8, so x₁ = 1/5 and y₁ = -8

We know the formula is, y - y₁ = slope × (x - x₁)

Putting the values of x₁, y₁ and slope in the given formula we get,

y -(-8) = m × (x-1/5)

y = m(x-1/5) - 8

Hence, we get the required equation.

If a coin is flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it will show all heads or all tails? A 1/2 B 1/512 C 1/1022 D 1/1024
Ksju [112]

The probability of multiple events happening is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event together. This is the case if each event is independent of the other events.

For a fair coin, the probability of tails is 1/ 2 or 0.5, so the probability of all tails in 10 tosess is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625

Correct answer: D

QUESTION TWO Determine whether or not a constant function can be
Sveta_85 [38]
<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • (a) It is <u>never</u> one-to-one
  • (b) It is <u>never</u> onto

=========================================================

Explanation:

The graph of any constant function is a horizontal flat line. The output is the same regardless of whatever input you select. Recall that a one-to-one function must pass the horizontal line test. Horizontal lines themselves fail this test. So this is sufficient to show we don't have a one-to-one function here.

Put another way: Let f(x) be a constant function. Let's say its output is 5. So f(x) = 5 no matter what you pick for x. We can then show that f(a) = f(b) = 5 where a,b are different values. This criteria is enough to show that f(x) is not one-to-one. A one-to-one function must have f(a) = f(b) lead directly to a = b. We cannot have a,b as different values.

----------------------------

The term "onto" in math, specifically when it concerns functions, refers to the idea of the entire range being accessible. If the range is the set of all real numbers, then we consider the function be onto. There's a bit more nuance, but this is the general idea.

With constant functions, we can only reach one output value (in that example above, it was the output 5). We fall very short of the goal of reaching all real numbers in the range. Therefore, this constant function and any constant function can never be onto.
