Answer:
y = -0.2x - 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.
For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5
The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".
So, the perpendicular line will have slope of 
So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:
y = -1/5x + b
Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:
So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8
The greater density to measure by having a mass of 2cm or 3cm
Answer:100 10 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
