The median is the middle value of the data set in ascending order. If there is no exact middle value then it is the average of the values either side of the middle.

Arrange the data in ascending order

48, 52, 54, 57, 57, 57, 61, 61, 65

↑

The median of the data set is 57 → b

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to x - y = -5 and passes through (4, 7).

Ivanshal [37]

X - y = -5
-y = -x - 5
y = x + 5...slope here is 1. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip ur slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(4,7)...x = 4 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y int
7 = -1(4) + b
7 = -4 + b
7 + 4 = b
11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -x + 11 <==
