The equation of the line will be equal to 3y = -x + 21.

A line may be defined as the straight figure drawn which has no end points. The equation of a line can be written in slope intercept form as y = mx + c where m is the slope of line, c is y intercept an x and y are independent and dependent variables. If a point (x₁, y₁) is given then equation of line is (y - y₁) = m (x - x₁). The slope of line which is perpendicular to a given line having slope m is equal to -1/m.

Now, equation of line is y = 3x + 3. If we compare with slope intercept form then, m = 3. Now, slope of line perpendicular to this line is equal to -1/3. Now, equation of line passing through point (-6, 9) is given as

(y - 9) = -1/3 (x + 6)

3y - 27 = -x - 6

=> 3y = -x + 21 which is the required equation of line.

Eric has 183 coins all of them are nickels and dimes. If the total value of the coins is 14.45, how many of each denomination co
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

77 nickels

106 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be n nickes and d dimes

Since there are 183 coins, we can write:

n + d = 183

Also, the value of nickel is 0.05 and dime is 0.1, total value is 14.45, so we can write:

0.05n + 0.1d = 14.45

Solving 1st equation for n, we have:

n = 183 - d

Putting this into 2nd equation and solving for d:

0.05n + 0.1d = 14.45\\0.05(183-d) + 0.1d = 14.45\\9.15-0.05d+0.1d=14.45\\0.05d=5.3\\d=106

There are 106 dimes

Since, n = 183 - d

n = 183 - 106

n = 77

There are 77 nickels

Identify the conclusion in a hypothesis test of the following claim and sample data:
Anarel [89]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we set up the null and alternative hypothesis as follows;

The null hypothesis is;

H0: μ ≥ 12

The alternative hypothesis is;

Ha : μ < 12

Next step is to calculate the test statistic z

Mathematically;

z = (x - μ )/ σ /√n

= (11.58 - 12) /1.93/√(80

Test statistic z = -1.92

Now we proceed to find the probability value that is equal to the value of the test statistic. We can find this by using the standard normal table or NORMSTD function on excel

P(z < -1.92) = 0.0274

P-value = 0.0274

alpha = 0.05

From the above, we can see that

P-value < alpha

And because of this, we are going to reject the null hypothesis and therefore accept the alternative.

We then conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that "The average battery life (between charges) of this model of tablet is at least 12 hours."
