The answer is 18.

Show your work: You first need to find 25% of 80. To do that you need to remember that percent means per one hundred. Knowing this you need to do 25 divided by one hundred. This equals 0.25. Now to find the answer you will need to multiply both 0.25 and 80 to find 25% of 80. This will equal 20.
Now you will need to do the same with 10% of 20. 10 divided by 100 = 0.1 and times that by 20 = 2.
That will be how many boys are wearing ear plugs. To get the girls, all you will need is to subtract 2 from 20 = 18.
That’s why there is 18 girls wearing ear plugs.

Given:

The equation of a line is:

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2

A line passes through the point (-5,-3) and perpendicular to the given line.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b                 ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{5}{7}

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

-\dfrac{5}{7}\times m_2=-1

m_2=\dfrac{7}{5}

Slope of the required line is \dfrac{7}{5} and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is:

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-(-3)=\dfrac{7}{5}(x-(-5))

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x+5)

Using distributive property, we get

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x)+\dfrac{7}{5}(5)

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7-3

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4. Hence, option A is correct.

A baseball field is being constructed. The builders noticed that the batters would have the sun in their eyes when batting from
Leona [35]

Answer:

A' =(-y,x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent point A as thus;

A = (x,y)

Required

Determine the new position of A, when rotated counterclockwise

The new position will be denoted as A'

When a point is rotated counterclockwise, we start by switching the positions of x and y as follows:

Pos = (y,x)

Then, y is negated to give A'

A' =(-y,x)
