Answer: The equation for line BC is x=4.

Step-by-step explanation: As shown in the provided diagram, lines AB and BC intersect at right angles at point B. The coordinates for points A and B are (-3, 4) and B(4, 4). We need to determine the equation for line BC.

The formula for determining the slope of a line connecting points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.

The slope of line AB is

m=\dfrac{4-4}{4-(-3)}\\\\\Rightarrow m=0.

Consequently, the equation of line AB is

y-4=m(x-4)\\\\\Rightarrow y-4=0\\\\\Rightarrow y=4.

Since the equation y = constant characterizes a line parallel to the X-axis, its perpendicular counterpart must align with the Y-axis.

Hence, it will have the form of

x = constant.

Given that line BC is perpendicular to line AB and passes through point (4, 4), it follows that

x=4.

Thus, the equation for line BC is x=4.

The correct answer is:

x=4.

Explanation:

The slope between points A and B is calculated using the formula
m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
Using the coordinates for points A and B, we can determine
m=\frac{4-4}{4--3}=\frac{0}{7}=0
Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals. The slope of line AB is 0/7, which has an undefined reciprocal of 7/0. This indicates that the line is vertical. The equation for vertical lines takes the form x=c, which is constant; for line B, with coordinates (4, 4), this results in x=4.

A rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at th
Leona [12618]

Answer:0.246 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation: As the worker starts moving and stops 10 feet away from the side rope connected to the load, it creates a right triangle, as illustrated in the image.

V = s/t... equation 1

S = distance the worker travels while pulling the rope = 10 ft

V = worker's velocity = 2 ft/s

T = time it takes for the worker to cover 10 ft = the same time the load takes to rise = 5 seconds

Using Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the pulley to the new position of the worker

Square root of (40^2 + 10^2) = 41.23 ft

Distance covered by load = D = 41.23 - 40

= 1.23 ft

Load speed = D/t...equation 2

Substituting D and t into equation 2 gives us

Load speed = 1.23/5 = 0.246 ft/s

PIT_PIT [12445]

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a34 of the sequence 9,6,3,..

r=a2-a1

r=6-9

r=-3

a34=a1+33.r

a34=9+33.(-3)

a34= 9-99

a34= -90

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the details provided:

Employees with less than 3 years receive an increase of $0.50 hourly

Employees with at least 3 years but under 6 years receive $1.00 increase hourly

Employees with a minimum of 6 years and less than 9 get $1.50 increase hourly

Employees with at least 9 years but below 12 years receive $2.00 increase hourly

This information can be expressed as a piecewise function:

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

The conditions are outlined in the piecewise function above with x indicating the number of years employed.

An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players and withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Fin
Leona [12618]

Correct question:

An urn holds 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns withdrawing balls until a red one is chosen. Calculate the probability that A picks the red ball. (A goes first, followed by B, with no replacement of drawn balls).

Answer:

The likelihood that A picks the red ball is 58.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A will select the red ball if it is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th.

1st draw: 9C2

3rd draw: 7C2

5th draw: 5C2

7th draw: 3C2

Calculating for all possible scenarios gives us:

9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36

7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21

5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10

3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3

Adding these possibilities results in 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70.

The total outcomes for selecting a red ball = 10C3

10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)

= 120.

The probability that A selects the red ball is determined by dividing the sum of possible events by the overall outcomes.

P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120

= 0.5833

= 58.33 %
