Concept explainers
a)
To find: The slope of any line which is parallel to the given equation.
a)

Answer to Problem 17OE
Slope of parallel line is
Explanation of Solution
Given: The given equation of line is
Concept Used: Slope intercept form is given by
Where,
Parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect.
Calculation: Given equation of line is
Solve for
Comparing it with slope intercept form
We get,
Since, the slopes of parallel lines are same
Conclusion: So, the slope of the any line that is parallel to given equation is
b)
To find: The slope of any line which is perpendicular to the given equation.
b)

Answer to Problem 17OE
Slope of perpendicular line is
Explanation of Solution
Given: The given equation of line is
Concept Used: Slope intercept form is given by
Where,
The slope of the perpendicular lines are the negative reciprocals of each other and they intersect at
Calculation: Given equation of line is
Solve for
Comparing it with slope intercept form
We get,
Since, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal
Conclusion: So, the slope of the any line that is perpendicular to given equation is

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king. Who is correct?arrow_forward
