If the line segment is perpendicular to a line with the slope of -4, that means the line segment has a slope of 1/4.

First let's make an equation for the line segment using the slope of 1/4 and the point at (2,6) to find the final piece, the y-intercept

y = mx + b
6 = 1/4(2) + b
6 = 2/4 + b
24/4 = 2/4 + b
22/4 = b

y = 1/4 x + 22/4
6 = 1/4(2) + 22/4
6 = 2/4 + 22/4
6 = 24/4
6 = 6 <-- proves that this equation is correct

Now you may plug in the x to find y. ( 8 , y )
y = 1/4(8) + 22/4
y = 8/4 + 22/4
y = 30/4 = 15/2 = 7.5

AnnZ [28]

Answer :

<h3>4^{10} <u> =1048576 ways </u> a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a multiple-choice test contains 10 questions and there are 4 possible answers for each question.

∴ Answers=4 options for each question.

<h3>To find how many ways  a student can answer the given questions on the test if the student answers every question :</h3>

Solving this by product rule

Product rule :

<u>If one event can occur in m ways and a second event occur in n ways, the number of ways of two events can occur in sequence is then m.n</u>

From the given the event of choosing the answer of each question having 4 options is given by

The 1st event of picking the answer of the 1st question=4 ,

2nd event of picking the answer of the 2nd question=4 ,

3rd event of picking the answer of the 3rd question=4

,....,

10th event of picking the answer of the 10th question=4.

It can be written as  by using the product rule

=4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4

=4^{10}

=1048576

<h3>∴ there are 1048576 ways a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>

The coefficient of determination is used to: compute correlations for truncated ranges. compare the relative strength of coeffic
kozerog [31]

Answer: compare the relative strength of coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation: The Coefficient of determination usually denoted as R^2 is obtained by taking the squared value of the correlation Coefficient (R). It's value ranges from 0 to 1 and the value obtained gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which could be attributed to it's correlation or relationship to th independent variable. With a R^2 value close to 1, this means a large portion of Variation in a variable A could be explained due to changes in variable B while a low value signifies a low variance between the variables. Hence, the Coefficient of determination is used in comparing the relative strength of the Coefficients in other to establish whether a weak or strong relationship exist.
