I)

The Midpoint M of the line segment AB is found using the Midpoint formula:

M=( \frac{4+2}{2} , \frac{8+10}{2})=(3, 9)

ii)

the slope of the line through A and B is found by the slope formula:

m= \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{10-8}{2-4}= \frac{2}{-2}=-1

iii)

the product of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the line through A and B is -1/(-1)=1

iv) 

the equation of the line with slope 1, which contains point M(3, 9) is found by the slope point form equation of a line:

y-9=1(x-3)

y-9=x-3

y=x+6


Answer: y=x+6

When do you reject the null hypothesis?
Nimfa-mama [501]

You reject the Null Hypothesis when you have a small P-Value. Here is an example! Also we never accept the null hypothesis, think of it like this if we bring someone to court you wouldn't say their innocent of a crime, you only know that if they do not get convicted of the crime they are not guilty in the eyes of the law. Same thing applies here, since there could be several answers that satisfy our assumptions made, we can not be certain that 1 of those assumptions is the REAL answer it's just AN answer.

Help!!! Assignment due in 20 minutes!!

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be 2 because it reduces to the same system of equations as the original, which I knew since the first equation was the same and if you divide everything in the second by 2, you'll get 3x-y=8. :)
