Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is defined by:  y=5x+1, where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.

In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.

"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: \frac{1}{5}.

We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x+b

we require then that when x=-5, the value of y=-4.

Therefore: -4=-\frac{1}{5} (-5)+b\\-4=\frac{5}{5} +b\\-4=1+b\\b=-4-1=-5

Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form: y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

By ordering the data find the Lower Quartile<br> 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15 *
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

.Lower quartile = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the data from lowest to highest.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 15

First finding the median to make it easier to find the lower quartile.

median : 6 and 7 but right now they're irrelevant so we don't honestly need to work that out.

The lower quartile would be 3 and 4

3+4= 7 divide by 2 = 3.5 is your lower quartile

The cost of 4 kilograms of cheese is 50 dollars. which equation shows this in function notation?
Xelga [282]
$50 corresponds to 4 kg That means there must be a number that when you multiply by 4 you get 50. Let that number be k. k is the price of cheese per kg. 1 kg: y = k * 1 2 kg: y = k * 2
