Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + y = - 5 into this form by subtracting 2x from both sides

y = - 2x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-2} = - \frac{1}{2}, hence

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (- 1, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - \frac{1}{2} + c ⇒ c = - \frac{3}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{2} ← equation in slope- intercept form

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, the mean (μ) = 1390.75 and the standard deviation (σ) = 518.75

The confidence level (C) = 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05

The z score of α/2 (0.05) is the same as the z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) which is equal to 1.645.

The margin of error (E) is given as:

E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  \\\\E=1.645*\frac{518.75}{\sqrt{14} } =228.07

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 1390.75 ± 228.07 = (1162.68, 1618.82)

The confidence interval is between 1162.68 and 1618.82.

I need help finding x
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is      x = \sqrt{50}    or x = 5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem because two right triangles are formed.

                    c² = a² + b²

c = 10

a = x

b = x     Because in a square all the sides measure the same.

                    10² = x² + x²

- Simplify

                    100 = 2x²

                    x² = 100/2

                   x² = 50

                    x = \sqrt{50}    or x = 5\sqrt{2}

Some carpet cleaning costs are 1 room for $125, 2 rooms for $175, 3 rooms for $225. and 4 rooms for $275.00.Find and interpret t
Free_Kalibri [48]
First calculate the hourly rate, which is the difference of cleaning 2 and 1 rooms:
175-125=50

then calculate the initial value by subtracting the hourly rate from the "1 room" cost:
125-50=75

The initial cost might be something like driving to the place (which is only necessary once), while the rate covers work time or cleaning utensils used.

14/1 ÷ 3/8 = please show work and answer fast​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 37 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

14/1÷3/8=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

14/1 × 8/3=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

14×8/1×3 = 112/3

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction

112/3

is the same as

112÷3

Convert to a mixed number using

long division so

112/3=37 1/3

Therefore:

14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3
