Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals. if u don't know what opposite reciprocals are, according to study.com they are, "The term opposite reciprocals refers to two numbers that have opposite signs and are flipped fractions of each other." for example, 1/2 and -2 are opposite reciprocals.

also recall that the formula to find the slope of a line is m=y2-y1/x2-x1

to solve this problem, we need to go through all of the options and find the slope of that line using the given point and point (0,4). After that, we need to check if that slope is equal to 1. One is the opposite reciprocal of -1, and -1 is the slope of the equation y= -x+4. if the slope is equal to 1, the line will be perpendicular to the line y= -x+4.

lets do the math now:

option a)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=12-4/6-0

m=8/6

m=4/3

this line isnt perpendicular to y= -x +4 cuz the slope is 4/3, which isnt equal to 1

option b)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=0-4/6-0

m=-4/6

m= -2/3

this line isnt perpendicular to y= -x +4 cuz the slope is -2/3, which isnt equal to 1

--------------

ok girl i dont wanna do all the rest of the calculations. just keep doing the same thing with all the other options until you find something that has a slope of 1.

toodles! :)

Greenfield village is spread across 240 acres of land. Only 37% of the land is used for the exhibits, while the rest of the land

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The land which are used for exhibits are 89 acres (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Village is spread across 240 acres of land. 37% of land is used for the exhibits.

Now, we have to find acres of land which are used for exhibits.

So, here it is given that land used for exhibits is 37%, and we have to calculate the quantity from the percentage given:

According to question:

37% of 240 acres of land.

$\frac{37}{100}\times 240$

$0.37\times 240$

$88.80$

So, the land used for exhibits are 88.80 acres.

Therefore, the land which are used for exhibits are 89 acres (approximately).

Llana [10]

Answer:

The probability that seven or more of them used their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions is 0.7886.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

What should I buy? A study conducted by a research group in a recent year reported that 57% of cell phone owners used their phones inside a store for guidance on purchasing decisions. A sample of 14 cell phone owners is studied. Round the answers to at least four decimal places. What is the probability that seven or more of them used their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions?

We can model this as a binomial random variable, with p=0.57 and n=14.

$P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}$

a) We have to calculate the probability that seven or more of them used their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions:

$P(x\geq7)=\sum_{k=7}^{14}P(x=k)\\\\\\$

$P(x=7)=\dbinom{14}{7} p^{7}q^{7}=3432*0.0195*0.0027=0.1824\\\\\\P(x=8) = \dbinom{14}{8} p^{8}q^{6}=3003*0.0111*0.0063=0.2115\\\\\\P(x=9) = \dbinom{14}{9} p^{9}q^{5}=2002*0.0064*0.0147=0.1869\\\\\\P(x=10) = \dbinom{14}{10} p^{10}q^{4}=1001*0.0036*0.0342=0.1239\\\\\\P(x=11) = \dbinom{14}{11} p^{11}q^{3}=364*0.0021*0.0795=0.0597\\\\\\P(x=12) = \dbinom{14}{12} p^{12}q^{2}=91*0.0012*0.1849=0.0198\\\\\\P(x=13) = \dbinom{14}{13} p^{13}q^{1}=14*0.0007*0.43=0.004\\\\\\$

$P(x=14) = \dbinom{14}{14} p^{14}q^{0}=1*0.0004*1=0.0004\\\\\\$

$P(x\geq7)=0.1824+0.2115+0.1869+0.1239+0.0597+0.0198+0.004+0.0004\\\\P(x\geq7)=0.7886$

Carl used 10 2/9 an inch of string to tie a parcel and another 5 1/4 of an inch of string to tie a box, how much string is left

NARA [144]

Answer:

20-(10 2/9)-(5 1/4)= 4.52777777778 inches decimal or 163/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

20 - (10 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

Put 10 + 2/9 over the common denominator 9. 10 + 2/9 = (9×10)/9 + 2/9:

20 - (9×10)/9 + 2/9 - (5 + 1/4)

9×10 = 90:

20 - (90/9 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

90/9 + 2/9 = (90 + 2)/9:

20 - (90 + 2)/9 - (5 + 1/4)

90 + 2 = 92:

20 - 92/9 - (5 + 1/4)

Put 5 + 1/4 over the common denominator 4. 5 + 1/4 = (4×5)/4 + 1/4:

20 - 92/9 - (4×5)/4 + 1/4

4×5 = 20:

20 - 92/9 - (20/4 + 1/4)

20/4 + 1/4 = (20 + 1)/4:

20 - 92/9 - (20 + 1)/4

20 + 1 = 21:

20 - 92/9 - 21/4

Put 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 over the common denominator 36. 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 = (36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36:

(36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36

9 (-21) = -189:

720/36 - 368/36 + (-189)/36

720/36 - 368/36 - 189/36 = (720 - 368 - 189)/36:

(720 - 368 - 189)/36

720 - 368 - 189 = 720 - (368 + 189):
