Let $k:y=m_1x+b_1$ and $l:y=m_2x+b_2$

$l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

We have

$y=4x-3\to m_1=4$

Therefore

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have the equation of a line:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (0, 7) to the equation of a line:

$7=-\dfrac{1}{4}(0)+b\\\\\7=b\to b=7$

Answer: $\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+7}$

3xy

y(3y)/3xy + y(xy)/3xy + (y+1)(3x)/3xy 

NOW since all of the fractions have a denominator of 3xy, drop the denominators and solve using the numerators. 

y(3y) + y(xy) + (y+1)(3x) 

3y^2 + xy^2 + 3xy +3x 

cannot simplify further.

To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine foun

QveST [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}$

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429$

Now, $t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.
