You will be using the equation y = mx + b

The only variables you need to find are "m" and "b"

For the equation of a line to be perpendicular to the given line, the slope will have to be the opposite of the given slope. Or you have to flip the sign and the number of the given slope to get your new slope.

For example:

m = -2

perpendicular slope = 1/2(positive)

m = 3/4

perpendicular slope = -4/3(negative)


The slope of the line is -1.5 or -3/2

Your new slope is 2/3

y = 2/3x + b

To find "b", you plug in the point (2,0) into the equation.

0 = 2/3(2) + b

0 = 4/3 + b

-4/3 = b


Your new equation is y = 2/3x - 4/3

PLEASE HELP W THIS I WILL Give YOU THE BRAINLIEST PLEASE ! - What does it mean to have a skewed distribution? What causes a skew
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A skewed distribution in a dataset is when the median is not equal to the mean in such a manner that the bell curve is tilted to the left or right.

B) If in a data set, if there are outliers which are extremely large or extremely small in comparison to other values in that same dataset, then we can say that such a curve will be pulled towards the outlier and thus the distribution is skewed.

Also, if the curve is inclined to the left, it means there are few extreme values to the left and it is negatively skewed.

Similarly, if the curve is inclined to the right, it means there are few extreme values to the right and is positively skewed.

C) Example of a research question is;

If in a developed country where the poverty level is about 0%, if we collect the data of income of the households, we will discover majority of people with average income and very few people with extreme high levels of income. This condition means the data is positively skewed.

Solve - 2x - 7 &gt; X+ 8.<br> O A. x&lt;-3<br> O B. x&lt;-5<br> O C. x&gt;-5<br> O D. x&gt;-3
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x - 7 > x+ 8

Add 2x to each side

- 2x+2x - 7 > x+2x+ 8

-7 > 3x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

-7-8 > 3x+8-8

-15 > 3x

Divide by 3

-15/3 > 3x/3

-5 >x

x < -5
