Whats the equationbof the perpendicular line to y=3-0.25x that passes through the point (1,5)

A biologist has been observing a tree's height. This type of tree typically grows by 0.22 feet each month. Fifteen months into t

Lyrx [107]

Data:

x: number of months

y: tree's height

Tipical grow: 0.22

Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)

In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.

m=0.22

To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 20.5=0.22(15)+b \\ 20.5=3.3+b \\ 20.5-3.3=b \\ 17.2=b \end{gathered}$

Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \\ y=0.22x+17.2 \end{gathered}$ A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2

B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:

$\begin{gathered} y=0.22(29)+17.2 \\ y=6.38+17.2 \\ \\ y=23.58 \end{gathered}$ Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height

C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:

$\begin{gathered} 29.96=0.22x+17.2 \\ 29.96-17.2=0.22x \\ 12.76=0.22x \\ \frac{12.76}{0.22}=x \\ \\ 58=x \end{gathered}$ Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔCAD and ΔCBD

∠A ≅∠B (Angle)

AD ≅BD (Side)

From the graph we see that

CD≅CD (Side)

because of reflexive propriety ( a line segment is congruent with itself)

If you put in order those congruencies we have SSA witch does NOT prove congruence.

we not use SAS because the angle between the sides is not congruent

Step 1

Define the variables

Let

x-----> number of erasers

y-----> total cost

we know that

------> this is the linear equation that represent the situation

therefore

the answer is y = 0.84 + (0.38)x

(a) Predict the median income of a region in which 30% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

(a). $35746. (b). Higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). Given that the least-squares regression equation is y = 7163x + 14242. Also, in the question above we are given that y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region, that is to say that the value of x = 30.

Therefore, y = 7163x + 14242.

y = (7163 × 30) + 14242.

y = $35746.

(b). The condition for our x is; 28.7 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.

Then, y = (7163 × 28.7) + 14242.

y = $34814.

Hence, we have the median income in this region = $38,163 HIGHER than $34814.
