Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==

Your equation oinitial is y=-2/3x+5

perpendicular lines have slopes that mulitply to get -1

y=mx+b
m=slope

given
y=-2/3x+5
slope=-2/3

perpendicular so
-2/3 times what=-1
times -3/2 both sides
what=3/2
the slope is 3/2

let's use point slope form

equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so given point (8,1) and slope 3/2

y-1=3/2(x-8)
is yo equation
if yo wanted slope intercept
y-1=3/2x-12
y=3/2x-11 is slope intercept
if wanted standard form

11=3/2x-y
3x-2y=22


equaiton is
y-1=\frac{3}{2}(x-8) for point slope form
y=\frac{3}{2}x-11 in slope intercept form
3x-2y=22 in standard form

Answer:

Because f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, f and g <u>are </u> inverse functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x)) = f(\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{x}) = 16(\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{x} ) ^{2} = 16(\frac{1}{16}x)=x

g(f(x)) = g (16x^{2}) = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{16x^{2} } = \frac{1}{4}(4x) = x

The ransin sports company has noted that the size of individual customer orders is normally distributed with a mean of $112 and
Sonja [21]

Standard error of the mean is computed by:

Standard error = SD/ sqrt N

Where:

N is the sample size

SD is the standard deviation

 

To get the standard deviation, you need to get the sqrt of the variance = sqrt 9 = 3

So plugging in our data:

 

Standard error = 3 / sqrt (16)

= 0.75

2A) C is correct.

2B) If x + 13 = 28, solve.
x+13=28\\&#10;x=15
If x = 15 and x + 13 = 28, you can solve it two ways:
1. Plug x into 4x + 26 to get a perimeter of 86, or
2. Redo the equation:
P=2(15)+2(28)\\&#10;P = 30+56\\&#10;P=86

3a. Since the 6z is negative, you want an expression the has 5z - (11z). Answers A and D have that in their answer.
But since the 13 is positive, you want the answer that subtracts the smaller number from the larger. Thus, D is your answer since it subtracts 2 from 15.

3b) You think about this question the same way; 6z is positive, so the smaller number is being subtracted from the larger, meaning that 11z - 5z is what you look for. C and D are the two that have that, so now let's look at the second term.
The 13 is negative, so you want the answer that has 2 - 15. The answer that has that is D.

Hope this helps :D
