What is an equation of the line perpendicular to y=1/5x+2 that contains (15,-4)

Mathematics

Answer:

y + 4 = -5(x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a slope of 1/5.  Any new line perpendicular to this given line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of 1/5:  -5.

Use the point-slope equation of a line:  y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is the point through which the new line passes.  Here h = 15 and k = -4, so we have:

y + 4 = -5(x - 15)

This line is perpendicular to the given line and also passes through (15, -4).

You randomly choose one of the tiles. Without replacing the first tile, you randomly choose a second tile. Find the probability
gtnhenbr [62]

See attached picture for the missing image required to answer the question.

Answer: 4/21

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tiles(possible outcomes) = 7

Number of green tiles(required outcomes) =2

Number of Blue tiles(required outcomes) = 4

Recall :

Probability (P) = Required outcome / total possible outcomes

First pick (without replacement) :

P(picking a green tile) = 2/7

Second pick :

Tiles left after first pick = 6

P(picking a blue tile) = 4/6 = 2/3

Compound probability :

P(picking a green tile) × p(picking a blue tile)

(2/7) × (2/3) = 4/21
