Y = 2x - 9.....slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope)m) = -1/2
(8,-1)....x1 = 8 and y1 = -1
now we sub...pay attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = -1/2(x - 8)...not done yet
y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8) <== ur perpendicular line

Can you help me find x

kifflom [539]

X = 30

hope that helps

180 - 108 = 72

180 - 72 -43 = 65

triangle on the left
Angles = 43,65,72

triangle on the right

180 - 65 = 115

180 - 115 - 35 = 30
so angles of triangle on the right = 30, 35, 115

x = 30 (vertical angles with the other angle of triangle on the right)

Fifteen students are going hiking on their spring break. They plan to travel in three vehicles—one seating 7, one seating 5, and

andriy [413]

Answer:

The students can group themselves in 360360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we need to use the following equation:

$\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}$

This equation give us the number of assignation of n elements in k cell, where n1, n2, ..nk are the element that are in every cell

In this case we have 15 student that need to be assign in three vehicles with an specific capacity. This vehicles would be the equivalent to cells, so we can write the equation as:

$\frac{15!}{7!*5!*3!}$

Because the first vehicle have 7 seating, the second vehicle have 5 seating and the third vehicle have 3 seating.

Solving the equation we get 360360 ways to organized 15 students in three vehicles with capacity of 7, 5 and 3 seating.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

179.5 - 180.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is a continuous variable. The minimum sleep time per night per subject here, is given as 1 minute.

Larger sleep times could be 1.08 minutes, 2.99 minutes, and other continuous/infinite values. Remember there are 60seconds in a minute and in-between seconds, there are milliseconds. So time is a continuous variable.

In this case though, our measurement of time is given in whole number units (integers). Our precision of measurement is 1 unit. We have an observed value of 180 minutes (the first subject's sleep time). The real limits of this value are 179.5 to 180.5
