Equation for the line perpendicular to the line -6x-7y=-6 having the same y-intercept as 8x-5y=10

Solving   <span>8x-5y=10   for y helps us to identify the y-intercept:

-5y = -8x + 10.  Dividing both sides by -5, we get (8/5)x -2.  Therefore, y = (8/5)x - 2; the y-intercept is (0,-2).

The equation  </span><span>-6x-7y=-6   can be solved for its slope in the same manner.
7y = -6x + 6;  then y = (-6/7)x + 6/7.  Its slope is -7/6.  A line perpendicular to this line has slope equal to the negative reciprocal of -7/6,  which is 6/7.

So, using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b becomes y = (6/7)x -2.</span>

Can I please get help with this?
Andrei [34K]

Answer: x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x and (3x + 10) combine to form a right angle, shown in the diagram by the small square joining the perpendicular lines.

Right angles are 90 degrees, so you can add both angles to get 90:

x + (3x + 10) = 90\\\\4x + 10 = 90\\\\4x = 80\\\\x = 20

The weights of dogs at a kennel are Normally distributed with a mean of 18 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds.In whic
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

P(x=25)=P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 18 pounds

Standard Deviation = 3.5 pounds

x= 25

We need to find P(x=25)

First, we need to find z-score using formula: z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Finding z-score when x=25

z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{25-18}{3.5}\\z-score=2

So, we need to find P(z=2)=P(x=25)

Looking at z-score table we can find P(z=2)

P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

So, P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%
