Answer: 2x+5y+10=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the given line : $5x - 2y = -6$ which can be written as $2y=5x+6$ or $y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+3$ . (i)

Linear equation : $y=mx+c$ , where m= slope and c = intercept.

Comparing this to (i), we get $m=\dfrac{5}{2}, c=3$

Let $m_1$ be the slope of the line perpendicular to the line 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5,-4).

Since, the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

So,

$\dfrac{5}{2}\times m_1=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m_1=-\dfrac{2}{5}$

Equation of line passes through (a,b) and have slope n is given by :-

$(y-b)=n(x-a)$

So, Equation of line passes through (5,-4) and have slope $\dfrac{2}{5}$ would be

$(y-(-4))=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5(y+4)=-2(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5y+20=-2x+10\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x+5y+10=0$

Required equation : $2x+5y+10=0$

Grades on a standardized test are known to have a mean of 1000 for students in the United States. The test is administered to 45

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is $1003 < \mu$

Yes there is statistically significant evidence that students in Florida perform differently from other students in the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 1000$

The sample size is $n = 453$

The sample mean is $\= x = 1013$

The standard deviation is $s = 108$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

=> $\alpha = 5\%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

The critical value for $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ obtained from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{108}{\sqrt{453} }$

=> $E = 9.946$

Generally the 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

=> $1013 - 9.946 < \mu < 1013 + 9.946$

=> $1003 < \mu$

Given that the population mean(1000) is not within the 95% confidence interval for l for the average test score for students in Florida, then it means that there is statistically significant evidence that students in Florida perform differently from other students in the United States

Answer:

-9/4 ÷ (-2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-(2 1/4) ➡ -9/4

-2/3 ➡ (again a reciprocal needed) -3/2 since we need the result to be positive both expression should remain negative so the answer is -9/4 ÷ -2/3

Professor shepherd weighed two pieces of metal for an experiment. the piece of iron weighed 7/12 of a pound and the piece of alu

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.

This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)

In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.

7/12 - 1/2

= 7/12 - 6/12

= 1/12

The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.
