Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate -3y by subtracting x from both sides

-3y = -18 - x

Divide everything by -3

y = 6 + 1/3x

Slope is 1/3, and perpendicular lines have the reverse reciprocal slope, so our slope is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Frequency Distribution

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Waiting Time(in Minutes)&$Frequency\\-----------&--\\0-4&4\\5-9&8\\10-14&5\\15-19&2\\20-24&1\\--&--\\Total&20\end{array}\right|$

(b)The relative frequency distribution.

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Waiting Time(in Minutes)&$Relative Frequency\\-----------&--\\0-4&4/20=0.2\\5-9&8/20=0.4\\10-14&5/20=0.25\\15-19&2/20=0.1\\20-24&1/20=0.05\\--&--\\Total&1\end{array}\right|$

(c)The cumulative frequency distribution.

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}$Waiting Time(in Minutes)&$Frequency&$Cumulative Frequency\\-----------&--&---\\0-4&4&4\\5-9&8&12\\10-14&5&17\\15-19&2&19\\20-24&1&20\\--&--&--\\Total&20\end{array}\right|$
