Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and is perpendicular to the

1 answer:

6 0

For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1; where m1 is the slope of line 1 and m2 is the slope of line 2.
m1 = (-4 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -6/2 = -3
m2 = -1/-3 = 1/3
Equation of the required line is given by: y - 4 = 1/3 (x - (-1))
y - 4 = 1/3 x + 1/3
y = 1/3 x + 1/3 + 4
y = 1/3 x + 13/3

Is Statistics mathematics or science? Defend your answer.

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!
