Answer:
what are we supposed to answer? im confused.. i can help i just dont know what to answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the other line in point slope form...(solve for y :D )
3y=15x+9
y=5x+3, so this line has a slope of 5
For a line to be perpendicular to another the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other...mathematically...
s1*s2=-1
So for the other line to be perpendicular to the first:
5m=-1, m=-1/5, thus our other line (so far) is:
y=b-x/5, now we can use the point (-8,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b":
-1=b-(-8)/5
-1=b+8/5
-1=b+1.6
b=-2.6
So the perpendicular line that contains the point (-8,-1) is:
y=-0.2x-2.6
That question is accompanied by these answer choices:
<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.
Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.
The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.
So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>
