23) Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that contains (4, -1) and is perpendicular to y = x + 2
♡

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is asking for a perpendicular line, we take the reciprocal of the slope in the given equation to use as the slope for the perpendicular line.

In y = x + 2, m = 1. However, for a perpendicular line we flip and multiply by a negative 1.

(Example: If m = 3, we would take the reciprocal of it and it turns into m = -1/3. If m = - 1/4, we would take the reciprocal of it and it turns into m = 4.)

So, the m = 1 turns into a m = -1.

Now, you can use the point (4,-1) to form a point-slope equation first.

y-(-1) = -1(x-4)

Then, use basic algebra to form a slope-intercept form equation.

y + 1 = -x + 4

y = -x +3

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
