<span>the line through points (-1,-2) and (5,3)
slope=(3-(-2))/(5-(-1))=5/6
for a perpendicular line slope =-6/5=-1.2
y=(-6/5)x+b
7=(-6/5)*3+b
7=-18/5+b
7=-36/10+b
7=-3.6+b
b=10.6
y=-1.2x+10.6</span>

Answer:

The equation of the line would by y = -6/5x + 53/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first find the slope of the original line. We can do this with the slope formula.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - -2)/(5 - -1)

m = (3 + 2)/(5 + 1)

m = 5/6

Now that we have the slope of this line, we can find the slope to the other line by using the reciprocal and opposite of it. So we flip 5/6 to get 6/5 and then we make it negative to get -6/5. Now that we have this, we can use the slope and a point in point-slope form to find the line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = -6/5(x - 3)

y - 7 = -6/5x + 18/5

y = -6/5x + 53/5

<em>3,2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across the x-axis:

(x,y) -> (x,-y)

In other words, you want to <u>change the sign of the y</u>.

(3,-2) -> (3,2)

The weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces.
Wittaler [7]

<span>First we calculate z using the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ</span>

Where:

x = our variable, 10

μ = mean, 8

σ = standard dev, 2

Substituting known values:<span>
z = (10 - 8)/2
z = 2/2
z = 1

Using the tables of the normal distribution to find the p-value with z = 1

p = 0.8413

Since we want "greater than 10”, we need to subtract the probability from 1 therefore

p* = 1 - 0.8413 = <span>0.1587</span></span>
