Answer:

The answer to your question is these lines are not perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (4, 2)

B (-1, 4)

slope = m = 4

Perpendicular lines mean that these lines cross and form an angle of 90°. Also, the slope of perpendicular lines is negative reciprocals.

Process

1.- Find the slope of the second line and compare it to the slope given.

slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitution

slope = $\frac{4 - 2}{-1 - 4}$

Simplification and result

slope = $\frac{-2}{5}$

-2/5 is not a negative reciprocal of 4, so these lines are not perpendicular.

Answer:

The GCF is going to be 20

Step-by-step explanation:

This Is how I find the GCF of 2 numbers. I find the prime factorization first, then I find the common factors and multiply them. Here

The prime factorization of 20, 2 × 2 × 5= 20

The prime factorization of 80, 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 80

The common factors are 2, 2, and 5. We multiply those to get the GCF.

2 × 2 × 5 = 20

A data set contains information on the grams of fat and number of calories in 28 different fast foods. The correlation coefficie

k0ka [10]

Using a calculator, it is found that for the two-tailed test of significance, the p-value is of 0.9195.

The correlation coefficient is also called <u>Pearson's r-score</u>, and is used for two-tailed tests. To find the p-value, the information needed is:

The value of the Pearson's r-score, that is, the value of the correlation coefficients.
The sample size.

In this problem, we have that the correlation coefficient is of r = 0.02, with a sample size of n = 28.

Using it as the input for a r-score calculator, the p-value is of 0.9195.
