Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (2,-2) and is perpendicular to x + 5y =6

1 answer:

3 0

X + 5y = 6
5y = -x + 6
y = -1/5x + 6/5....the slope here is -1/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the original slope and change the sign. So we flip -1/5 and make is -5/1....and we change the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 5(2) + b
-2 = 10 + b
-2 - 10 = b
-12 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 5x - 12 <=

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the ____A_____ of the ____B_____ of the coordinates. Fil

xeze [42]

Answer:

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the <u>absolute value</u> of the <u>difference</u> of the coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point can be paired with a number on a number line
The coordinate is the number associated with a point
To find the distance between point A and B you subtract the coordinates in any order you like and take the absolute value.

The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3.0 (Think of these as

bija089 [108]

Answer:

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 70

Standard Deviation, σ = 3

Sample size, n = 36

Let the average score of all pro golfers follow a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71)

$\text{Standard error of sampling} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = P(\displaystyle\frac{70 - 70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{71-70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}}) = P(0 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z \leq 0)\\= 0.977 - 0.500 = 0.477= 47.7\%$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = 47.7\%$

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

There are 2000 pounds in a ton how can you write 2000 with and exponent

Makovka662 [10]

In scientific notation, it would be 2x10^3.
An easy trick to help remember when it is a multiple of 10 is that you do the numbers that aren't zero (2) times 10 and the exponent is how ever many zeros there are after the other numbers (3).
