the correct answer would be A. the mean is when you add up all of them and divide it by how many numbers there are which in this case is 5. and the median is the number in the middle, in this case 20, therefore when you add up all numbers in A ,you get 105 and you divide it by 5 which gives you 21. :))

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

#1) y = -4x + 1; #2) parallel; #3) y = -1/2x + 5/2; #4) y = 2x + 4; #5) Never

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) We want a line that passes through (1, -3) and is parallel to y = 2-4(x-1). First we simplify our equation using the distributive property:

y = 2-4(x-1) = 2-4(x) -4(-1) = 2-4x--4 = 2-4x + 4 = -4x + 6

Lines that are parallel have the same slope; this means we want a line through (1, -3) with a slope of -4. Using point-slope form,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y--3=-4(x-1)\\\\y+3=-4(x)-4(-1)\\\\y+3=-4x+4\\\\y+3-3=-4x+4-3\\\\y=-4x+1$

#2) We must first write our second equation in slope-intercept form by isolating the y term:

2x+y=7

Subtract 2x from each side"

2x+y-2x = 7-2x

y = -2x+7

This means the slope is -2; the slopes are the same, so the lines are parallel.

#3) The slope of our given equation is 2. To be perpendicular, the second line must have a slope that is a negative reciprocal (flipped and opposite signs); this makes it -1/2. Using point-slope form,

$y-0=\frac{-1}{2}(x-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}(x)+\frac{-1}{2}(-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

#4) The slope of Main Street on the diagram, found by using rise/run, is 2. This means the bike path will also have a slope of 2 in order to be parallel. The park entrance is at (0, 4). This makes the equation y = 2x+4.

#5) Two lines with the same slope are always parallel. They are never perpendicular.
