Write the equation of a line that passes through (3.5,0) and is perpendicular to 8y+4x=64.

y = 2x + 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the slope

8y + 4x = 64

8y = 64 - 4x

Make y the subject of the formula

y = (64 - 4x)/8

y = ( -4x + 64)/8

Separate to get slope

y = -4x/8 + 64/8

y = -x/2 + 8

Slope is the coefficient of x

m = -1/2

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other , it is negative reciprocal to each other

m = 2

Using the point slope form equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Substitute the point

( 3.5 , 0)

x1 = 3.5

y1 = 0

y - 3.5 = 2( x - 0)

open the bracket

y - 3.5 = 2x - 0

y = 2x - 0 + 3.5

y = 2x + 3.5

The equation of the line is

y = 2x + 3.5

blue marble is 15 times out of 50 = 15/50 reduces to 3/10

landing on tails is 24 out of 50 = 24/50 reduces to 12/25

to find the probability of both multiply together:

3/10 x 12/25 = 3 x 12 / 10 x 25 = 36/250

if you multiplied the numerator and denominator by 10 you get 360/2500.

the answer is 360/2500

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
