You have a line:
y=mx+b  (slope-intercepted form)
m=slope of this line.

The slope of a line perpendicular to that given line will be: ´"m´"
m´=-1/m.

For example:
y=8x+3
m=8

The solpe fo a line perpendicular to "y=8x+3" is:
m`=-1/8

Find the mean, median, mode, and range of this data: 49, 49, 54, 55, 52, 49, 55. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Zigmanuir [339]
The mean is the average.
So, to find the mean you want o add up all of the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

49 + 49 + 54 + 55 + 52 + 49 + 575 = 363
363 / 7 = 51.85
Rounded to 52

For the median you want o line all of your number up from least to greatest and then find the middle number.

49,49,49,52,54,55,55

Your median is 52

The mode is the number that is listed most often

49 is listed 3 times
54 is listed 1 time
52 is listed 1 time
55 is listed 2 times

So, your mode is 49

0.03x+0.06 (6500-x)=225
Solve for x
0.03x+390-0.06x=225
0.03x-0.06x=225-390
-0.03x=-165
X=165÷0.03
X=5500 invested at 3%

6500-5500=1000 invested at 6%

The point slope of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through point (5,-2) is shown below. Which equation is in slope inte
kramer
Y + 2 = -2(x - 5)

Simplify.

y + 2 = -2x + 10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

y = -2x + 10 - 2

Simplify.

y = -2x + 8 → Slope-intercept form

Our answer is the second option : y=-2x+8
