There's no such thing as parallel or perpendicular "to a point".  A problem like that
will always want the new line to be parallel or perpendicular to another <em><u>line</u></em>.

-- If the new line is parallel to the given line, then they have the <em><u>same</u></em> slope.

-- If the new line is perpendicular to the the given line, then the slope of the
new line is [ <em><u>1 / slope of the given line</u></em> ].

In either case, you now have the slope of the new line and a point on it. 
From there, you should have no trouble finding its equation.

Parallel is same slope.
Perpendicular is same slope but you have make it opposite and flip it.
For example if your slope is 2/3. For Perpendicular it would be - 3/2.

Estimate the quotient by rounding each number to the nearest whole number. 33.7/ 9.5
GrogVix [38]

Answer: 34/10=3.4 The estimated quotient is 3.4

Step-by-step explanation: Basically,  you are dividing 33.7 by 9.5, but first you will need to round to the nearest whole number. A whole number does not contain a decimal. 33.7 rounded to the nearest whole number is 34. 9.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 10. So, you are dividing 34 by 10.  34 divided by 10 is 3.4.

a study studied the birth weights of 1,999 babies born in the United States. The mean weight was 3234 grams with a standard devi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

1899

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 3234

Standard deviation = 871

Percentage of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams:

1492 = 3234 - 2*871

So 1492 is two standard deviations below the mean.

4976 = 3234 + 2*871

So 4976 is two standard deviations above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of newborns weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams.

Out of 1999:

0.95*1999 = 1899

So the answer is 1899
