Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3. Such a line would be a vertical one. Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56). Thus, x must be 24: x = 24

Answer:

f(x) = 0.15x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

(x, y) = (180, 52) or (350, 77.50)

The slope is given by ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (77.50 -52)/(350 -180) = 25.50/170 = 0.15

The y-intercept is given by ...

b = y -mx

b = 52 -0.15×180 = 25

Then the equation for the linear function is ...

f(x) = mx +b

f(x) = 0.15x +25

IN A CLASS OF 30 STUDENTS 13 OF THEM ARE BOYS WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE GIRLS?

mestny [16]

Class of students - number of students that are boys = numbers of students that are girls

30 - 13 = 17

To change the number of students that are girls into percentage...

17/1 * 1/100 = 17/100

17/100 in a % form = 17%

The percentage of girls in the class is 17%
