Find the equation of the line through (-9,6) that is perpendicular to the line through (7,8),

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler [38]1 year ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume as "equation" we mean the slope-intercept form :

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope of the line (y coordinate change / x coordinate change when going from one point to another on the line). b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

we get the slope by finding the perpendicular slope of the first line.

the slope of the first line when going from (-3, -9) to (7, 8) :

x changes by + 10 (from -3 to +7).

y changes by + 17 (from -9 to +8).

so, that slope is 17/10.

the perpendicular slope is turning the original slope upside-down and flips the sign :

-10/17

so, a = -10/17

now, as we have only the slope and a point of the new line, we can use the point-slope form to stay and then transfer into the slope-intercept form.

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is again the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -6 = -10/17 × (x - -9)

y + 6 = -10/17 × (x + 9) = -10/17 × x - 90/17

y = -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 6 =

= -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 102/17 =

= -10/17 × x - 192/17

so, the equation is (in a maybe nicer way)

y = -1/17 × (10x + 192)

4b) Work out the mean and standard deviation of the following: picture included
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Yes, your simultaneous equations are correct;

Solve them like so:

170 + 1.6449σ = 180 - 0.8416

2.4865σ = 10

σ = 4.0217...

μ = 170 + 1.6449(4.0217...)

μ = 176.615...

MS is correct, you must've made an error in solving or rearranging

Explain how an outlier with a large value will affect the mean.
Paul [167]
An outlier with a large value will affect the mean by increasing it.
An outlier with a small value will affect the mean by decreasing it.
