At Bernouls Middle School, there are 876 students enrolled. Due to budget constraints, however, only 300 students are able to attend the field trip to a local national park. To choose those students who can attend the administration put all students' names in a large bin and chose 300 names at random. The results are listed below.

Erica is an eighth grade student at Bemoulli Middle School. What is the probability that her name is the first one chosen?
А 1/876
B. 1/300
C. 1/75
D-1/3

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
