We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
I got 27.5 for the mean
mean: you add up all the #'s and divide them my their quantity( in other words by how many numbers there are)
In your case you have 8 numbers, you add them and divide them by 8!
Hope it helps ;)
3x^-2 can be written
3/x^2 because x^-2 is = 1/x^2
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that x1=−1, y1=5, x2=3, y2=7.
Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: m=7−(5)3−(−1)=12.
Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−mx1 (or b=y2−mx2, the result is the same).
b=5−(12)(−1)=112
Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=b+mx:
y=112+x2
