Answer:

gradient = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradient (slope ) m using the gradient formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 7 )

m = \frac{-7-(-3)}{4-2} = \frac{-7+3}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = - 2

To find the gradient of a line you use this equation: Rise / Run

I am assuming this is a graph where both the x and y-axis increase in value by one.

So first of all, you should draw out this graph.

Second, draw a point at each of the given coordinates.

Now, join these points by drawing a right angle triangle. Put simply, draw a line from the point (4, -7) down until it is on the same level as the point (2, -3), then draw a line across.

Finally, measure the length of both these sides and use them in the equation above.

Let's assume the rise (vertical line) and the run (horizontal line) are 5 and 8 respectively. We can do 5/8 to get a gradient which is 0.625.

Help with this one because I do not know how to do perpendicular plz put explanation with steps worth 50!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line 2x-3y=12 is 3x+2y=34  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

2x-3y=12  

To Find:  

Equation of line passing through ( 16, -7) and is perpendicular to the line  

2x-3y=12  

Solution:  

2x-3y=12 ...........Given  

\therefore y=\dfrac{2}{3}\times x-4

Comparing with,  

y=mx+c  

Where m =slope  

We get  

Slope = m1 = \dfrac{2}{3}  

We know that for Perpendicular lines have product slopes = -1.

m1\times m2=-1

Substituting m1 we get m2 as

\dfrac{2}{3}\times m2=-1\\\\m2=-\dfrac{3}{2}

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (16 , -7) will have the slope,

m2=-\dfrac{3}{2}  

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by  

(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})  

Substituting the point (16 , -7) and slope m2 we will get the required equation of the line,  

(y-(-7))=-\dfrac{3}{2}\times (x-16)\\\\2y+14=-3x+48\\3x+2y=34......Equation\ of\ line  

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line  2x-3y=12 is

3x+2y=34

Answer:  (i) 1/221     (ii) 11/221      (iii) 95/663        (iv) 1/663

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(i) A deck of cards contains 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Kings out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 3 remaining Kings out of 51 total remaining cards  →  3/51 = 1/17

  <u>1st Draw </u>                   <u>2nd Draw </u>                  <u>Outcome</u>         <u>Probability</u>

 King: P(K) = 1/13        King: P(K₂/K₁) = 1/17     King, King       (1/13) x (1/17) = 1/221

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, & 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 12 Face cards out of 52 total cards → 12/52 = 3/13

2nd draw: 11 remaining Face cards out of 51 total remaining cards  →  11/51

<u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                  <u>Outcome</u>       <u>Probability</u>

 Face: P(F) = 3/13    Face: P(F₂/F₁) = 11/51   Face,Face     (3/13) x (11/51) = 11/221

*************************************************************************************************

(iiI) A deck of cards contains 26 black cards out of 52 total cards but there are 2 black Jacks, 2 black Queens, and 2 black Kings.

1st draw: 20 Black (not Face) cards out of 52 total cards → 20/52 = 5/13

2nd draw: 19 remaining Black (not Face) cards out of 51 total remaining cards  →  19/51

  <u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                       <u>Outcome</u>   <u>Probability</u>

Black: P(B~) = 5/13   Black: P(B~₂/B~₁) = 19/51    B~,B~    (5/13) x (19/51) = 95/663

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Aces out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Aces out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 1 Queen of Hearts out of 51 total remaining cards  →  1/51

  <u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                   <u>Outcome</u>         <u>Probability</u>

 Ace: P(A) = 1/13      Qh: P(Qh₂/A₁) = 1/51   Ace,Queen(h)   (1/13) x (1/51) = 1/663
