Answer:

80 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Gussing that the two numbers are m and n where m is greater than n.

We know that the quotient of the two numbers is 20. This means that:

m / n = 20

m = 20 n ..............> Step 1

We also know that the sum of the two numbers is 84. This means that:

m + n = 84 .............> Step 2

Substitute by Step 1 in Step 2 as follows:

20n + n = 84

21n = 84

n = 4

Substitute with the value of n in Step 1 to get m as follows:

m = 20n

m = 20*4 = 80

Hence, based on the above calculations:

The two numbers are 80 and 4

Answer:

28.26 $cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the quarter circle is the area of the circle / 4. Thus, the area is $\frac{\pi r^2}{4}$ = $\frac{3.14*6^2}{4}$ = 28.26 square centimeters

Doss [256]

Answer:

I believe it's the 10 orange marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their is a 45% chance that the orange marbles will be picked.

So, you add all them up (10 + 5 + 5 + 2)=22

10/22= 0.45%

what is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line y=-3/4x+5 that includes the point (-3,-3)?

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, your friend is the point-slope form.

Point-slope form = $y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

The only variables you replace are m = slope, y1 = y of a given point, and x1 = x of a given point.

First, we need to find the slope that is perpendicular to the equation $y=-\frac{3}{4}x+5$

An equation that is perpendicular to another equation have to be negative reciprocals (negative inverse) of each other.

If the slope is 3, then the negative reciprocal of 3 is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

So, since the given slope is -3/4, the negative reciprocal is $\frac{4}{3}$ .

We will use the negative reciprocal as m since we are trying to find the equation of line that includes (-3, -3) and is perpendicular to the other equation.

We will use point slope form using the (-3, -3) points and negative reciprocal as m.

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-(-3) = \frac{4}{3} (x-(-3))\\y+3=\frac{4}{3}(x+3)$

Now, we need to convert this into slope-intercept form. The reason why we need to do this is because y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. To do this, solve for y - or in other words, isolate y..

$y+3=\frac{4}{3}(x+3)\\y+3=\frac{4x}{3}+4\\y+3-3=\frac{4x}{3}+4-3\\y=\frac{4}{3}x+1$

The y-intercept of the line is 1.
