A = (-7,-6)

B = (8,-9)

Find the slope of line AB

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-9-(-6))/(8-(-7))

m = (-9+6)/(8+7)

m = -3/15

m = -1/5

The slope of line AB is -1/5.

Flip the fraction and the sign to go from -1/5 to +5/1 = 5. The perpendicular slope is 5.

Let m = 5.

Use the coordinates of point C (2,12) along with the perpendicular slope to get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 12 = 5(x - 2)

y - 12 = 5x - 10

y = 5x - 10+12

y = 5x + 2

Lastly, convert this to standard form

y = 5x + 2

5x+2 = y

5x+2-y = 0

5x-y = -2

Choice A is the closest match, but the -56 should be -2 instead. It seems like your teacher made a typo somewhere.

Answer:

5x - y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of this altitude line has a slope = -1/m where m is the slope of line AB . It will also pass through the point C.

The slope of line AB = (-9 - (-6)) / (8 - (-7))

= -3/15

= -1/5

So the slope  of the required line = -1 / -1/5 = 5.

Using the point C and the point-slope form of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 12 =  5(x - 2)

y - 5x = -10 + 12

y - 5x = 2

5x - y = -2.

For males in a certain town, the systolic blood pressure is normally distributed with a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

G= 93 to 147

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mean x = 120

Standard deviation o = 9

Percentage for men =99.75%

Generally the empirical rule 68%,95% and 99.7% of data value lay b/w 1,2,3 standard deviation of mean  

Standard deviation n= 9

Mean x= 120

Generally the interval  of systolic blood pressure for middle 99.7 of male G is mathematically given as

G = mean + 3 * o

G = 120 + 3 * 9

G = 93 to 147

What is the equation of the line that passes through (1,3) and (2,5)
kramer

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-3}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=2(x-1) \\\\\\ y-3=3x-2\implies y=2x+1

Write in form y=mx+b I will give brainiest to correct answer
Viktor [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b (m is the slope, b is the y-intercept)

To come with sope choose two points from the graph (6,20), (4,30)

Then

m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) =(4-6)/(30-20)=-1/5

b= 50 (y-intercept)

SO    y=-1/5x-50

I hope this helps

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

63-degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle = 180 degrees

46 + 71 + w = 180

117 + w = 180 *subtract 117 from both sides*

w = 63
