Answer:

C. y=\frac{4}{5}x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan and his classmates found that the line of best fit through the data had the equation y=-\frac{5}{4}x+18

The slope of this line is m=-\frac{5}{4}

If a line would intersect this line of best fit at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular to each other.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other,

Hence that line must have slope \frac{-1}{-\frac{5}{4}} =\frac{4}{5}

Therefore we look for a line whose slope is \frac{4}{5} from the given options.

That line is the third option y=\frac{4}{5}x+7

HELP FAST SO CONFUSED<br><br> Find the area of the shaded sector. Leave your answer in terms of π.
ddd [48]
Total area: pi*9^2 = 81pi

Shaded area = Total area / 3, because 120/360 = 1/3

So Shaded area = 81pi/3 = 27pi

Write an expression with a negative exponent that has a value between 0 and 1/2
aliya0001 [1]
<span>Exponent is a number used to express shorter equation; it is a number that says how many times you are going to multiply the base number.
</span><span>
Exponents have several laws, here are some:
=> x^1 = x
=> x^0 = 1
=> x^-1 = 1/x
=> x^m x^n = X^m+n
=> x^m/x^n = x^m-n

And since we were asked to write an expression with a negative exponent that has a value between 0 and ½
=> 2^ -2 = ½

Use the drop-down menus to choose steps in order to correctly solve<br> 4k−6=−2k−16−2 for k.
RoseWind [281]

From figure 1: -

From figure 2: 12

From figure 3: 6

From figure 4: -12

From figure 5: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation 4k-6=-2k-16-2 for k.

Solving:

4k-6=-2k-16-2\\4k-6=-2k-18\\4k=-2k-18+6\\4k=-2k-12\\4k+2k=-12\\6k=-12\\k=\frac{-12}{6}\\k=-2

So, the options to be selected are:

From figure 1: -

From figure 2: 12

From figure 3: 6

From figure 4: -12

From figure 5: -2
