Line v passes through points (1, 17) and (9, 10). Line w is perpendicular to v. What is the slope of line w?

1 answer:

5 0

To find the slope of line v, divide the change in y-values by the change in x-values:

17 - 10 / 1 - 9
7 / - 8

Slope of line v = -7/8

Now, slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, therefore:

The slope of line w = 8/7

Hope this helps.

There are two calculus classes at your school. Both classes have a class average of 75.5. The first class has a standard deviati

Korvikt [17]

To compare the two classes, the Coefficient of Variation (COV) can be used. The formula for COV is this:
C = s / x
where s is the standard deviation and x is the mean
For the first class:
C1 = 10.2 / 75.5
C1 = 0.1351 (13.51%)

For the second class:
C2 = 22.5 / 75.5
C2 = 0.2980 (29.80%)

The COV is a test of homogeneity. Looking at the values, the first class has more students having a grade closer to the average than the second class.
