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
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
Answer:
5/24 or 20.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2
Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12
Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%
Simplify the right hand side:
Expand the left hand side:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 4:
Answer:
About 260 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Tha rate is:
A: 8L/1.66666m
b: 10L/1m (converted to litres)
Divide 2400 by those rates above which:
2400 / (8/1.66666) = 500
2400 / (10/1) = 240
500 - 240 = 260
