Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal.

Example: Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into -1/3

Problem: Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into -3/2

Answer: The slope is -3/2

Paul [167]

Answer:

Total laps = 10d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Carl's laps

d = Daria's laps

e = Erin's laps

c = 3d

c = e/2

c + d + e = totals laps

We can insert 3d in place of c in the third equation

3d + d + e = total laps

Also, e/2 equals 3d

e/2 = 3d

Multiply both sides by 2

(e/2 = 3d)2

e = 6d

Insert the new e

3d + d + 6d = 10d = totals laps

Answer:

Mr Blake's science class

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of variation.

It tells us how far each of the data set in the distribution are far from the mean of the distribution.

The average score of students in Mr. Blake's science class was 73 with a standard deviation of 11, while the average score of students in Mrs. Arnold's class was 75 with a standard deviation of 10.

Since 11>10, Mr Blake's science class is more variable than Mrs. Arnold's class.
