The percent error of this problem is 5.85% error.
Part A
The first thing we must do in this case is to hide the slopes of each line.
line m:
m = (- 4-3) / (0 - (- 4))
m = -7 / 4
Line n:
n = (- 2-2) / (3-1)
n = -4 / 2
n = -2
Answer:
Lines m and n are not parallel because their slopes are different.
Part B:
We look for the slope of the K line:
k = (1 - (- 3)) / (4 - (- 3))
k = 4/7
We observe that it is true that:
k = -1 / m
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Yes, absolutely! You have correctly identified a good line of best fit and found a point that matches with the 450 thousand. Good job!
60% is 0.60 so you do 0.60 x 29 which = to 17.4
so your answer is 17.40 or 17.4 is 60% of 29
