Step-by-step explanation:
maybe this is not the full expression, as you wrote the line equation in a funny way.
I understand the following :
the line is
y = (-2/5)×x - 7
perpendicular means crossing at a right angle (90 degrees).
the slope of the original line is -2/5.
as in every line equation, the slope is the factor of x. and it expresses the ratio y/x indicating the amount of units y is changing, when x changes a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).
the perpendicular slope turns the original y/x ratio upside-down, and also flips the sign.
so, it is 5/2.
the equation for the perpendicular line looks like
y = (5/2)×x + b
now what is b ?
for this we use the specified point on the line : (4, -1)
and we put these values as x and y into the equation :
-1 = (5/2)×4 + b = 5×2 + b = 10 + b
b = -11
and so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is
y = (5/2)×x - 11
Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
