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).

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(8) = number of 8's / total = 1/3

Then keeping the card so we have 7 and 9

P(7) = number of 7's / total = 1/2

P(8, keep, 7) = 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6

(-2,4) (8,10) slope intercept form

kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use the given coordinate points to find the slope

m= $\frac{10-4}{8-(-2)}$ m= $\frac{3}{5}$

2) plug the slope into slope-intercept form

y= $\frac{3}{5}$ x+b

3) choose one point to use to plug into the equation to solve for b

4= $\frac{3}{5}$ (-2)+b

4) solve for b.

b= $\frac{26}{3}$

5) substitute the value for b into equation from step 2

y= $\frac{3}{5}$ x+ $\frac{26}{3}$
