What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x + 2y =8.

Mathematics

Mademuasel [1]3 years ago

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the line into y = mx + b form to find the slope (m)

x + 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

2y = -x + 8

Divide each side by 2

y = -1/2x + 4

So, the slope of this line is -1/2

Perpendicular lines have a opposite reciprocal slope, so the slope of a perpendicular line will be 2.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

μ ≈ 2.33

σ ≈ 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person has equal probability of ⅓.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}X&P(X)\\1&\frac{1}{3}\\2&\frac{1}{3}\\4&\frac{1}{3}\end{array}\right]

The mean is the expected value:

μ = E(X) = ∑ X P(X)

μ = (1) (⅓) + (2) (⅓) + (4) (⅓)

μ = ⁷/₃

The standard deviation is:

σ² = ∑ (X−μ)² P(X)

σ² = (1 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (2 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (4 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓)

σ² = ¹⁴/₉

σ ≈ 1.25

X + 18 greater than or equals 26
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

x + 18 ≥ 26

Step-by-step explanation:

"greater than or equals": ≥

x + 18 ≥ 26 is your answer.

If you are trying to solve it so you isolate x, subtract 18 from both sides:

x + 18 (-18) ≥ 26 (-18)

x ≥ 26 - 18

x ≥ 8

x ≥ 8 is your answer.

Sarah took the advertising department from her company on a round trip to meet with a potential client. Including Sarah a total
dimulka [17.4K]
You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.

$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)

x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)

Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:

$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230

$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230

-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230

-$990x = $2,970

x = 3


Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

3 + y = 11

y = 8


Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.
