Answer:

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is used to describe a set of data.

Answer:

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without even knowing the mean or median this can be solved. The data isn't skewed to the left nor right, so it is symmetrical. The mean is the central value of numbers so it should represent the center well.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 2 ) (6,−2) and is perpendicular to the line 6 x + y = 2 6x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

An equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given the line

6x+y=2

Simplifying the equation to write into the slope-intercept form

y = -6x+2

So, the slope = -6

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be: -1/-6 = 1/6

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting the values m = 1/6 and the point (6, -2)

$y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

$y+2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

subtract 2 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)-2$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Determine the end behavior of P(x)=3x

ELEN [110]

Answer:

As x ⇒-∞, P(x) ⇒ -∞

As x ⇒ ∞, P(x) ⇒ ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

To find left hand end behavior, plug in negative infinity into the function and evaluate...

P(x) = 3(-∞) = -3(∞) = -∞

The 'y' values of the function decrease towards negative infinity as the 'x' values approach negative infinity

P(x) = 3(∞) = ∞

The 'y' values of the function increase towards positive infinity as the 'x' values approach positive infinity
