Answer:

y=−x/2+2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=2x−5.

The slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse: m=−12.

So, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=−x/2+a.

To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: 3=(−12)⋅(−2)+a.

Thus, a=2.

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=−x/2+2.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You're looking for the circumference here, which is the distance around the outside of a circle. The formula is

C = πd or C = 2πr

Since we are given the diameter, we will use that one:

C = (3.14)(18) so

C = 56.5 feet

Find mean of the data: 20,50,30,40,60,80.

Effectus [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= The data points that add up, or, the sum of all data points, divided by the number of data points, will give you the answer,

20+50+30+40+60+80 would be

100+40+60+80 which is

200.

Since there are 6 numbers in the problem, we do

200/6

which will give us

33.33 etc. (33.3333333333 on and on forever)
