Answer:

The median of the data is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is really just another word for the average. To find that, you add all of the numbers and divide that sum by the number of numbers there are.

9+15+17+18+6+20+8+5+18+18+10+5+14+12+10+7=192

There are 16 numbers in this data set. So, we will divide the sum by 16.

192÷16=12

I hope this helps!! :)

Let L be the line parametrized by x = 2 + 2t, y = 3t, z = −1 − t. (a) Find a linear equation for the plane that is perpendicular

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L is a line parametrized by

$x = 2 + 2t, y = 3t, z = −1 − t$

The plane perpendicular to the line will have normal as this line and hence direction ratios of normal would be coefficient of t in x,y,z

i.e. (2,3,-1)

So equation of the plane would be of the form

$2x+3y-z =K$

Use the fact that the plane passes through (2,0,-1) and hence this point will satisfy this equation.

$2(2)+3(0)-(-1) =K\\K =5$

So equation is

$2x+3y-z =5$

b) Substitute general point of L in the plane to find the intersecting point

$2(2+2t)+3t-(-1-t) =5\\4+8t+1=5\\8t=0\\t=0\\(x,y,z) = (2,0,-1)$

i.e. same point given.

Line j has an equation of y - 8 = -2/3(x+5). Line K is perpendicular to line j and passes + through (-6, -2). What is the equati

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

y - 8 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x + 5) ← is in point- slope form

with m = - $\frac{2}{3}$

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3} }$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept ) , then

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 6, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 9 = 7

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 7 ← equation of line K

11) Endpoint: (0,4), midpoint (-10, -3)<br> Find the endpoint?

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

(-20,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

$( - 10 \: \: - 3) = ( \frac{0 + x}{2} \: \: \frac{4 + y}{2} )$

Solve for.x coordinate

$- 10 = \frac{0 + x}{2} \\ - 20 = 0 + x \\ x = - 20$

solve for y coordinate

$- 3 = \frac{4 + y}{2} \\ - 6 = 4 + y \\ - 10 = y$
