Write the slope-intercept form of the equation through (4, 2) perpendicular to y=4x-4

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form, which your equation y=4x-4 is already in.

To find the perpendicular line, you must take the <u>negative reciprocal</u> of the slope.

y = -1/4x + b

Your "b" will not be the same as the given equation, since the y-intercepts will not be the same. Therefore, you must solve for it using the point given.

Plug in (4, 2) [general: (x, y)] to the corresponding spots in y = -1/4x + b.

(2) = -1/4(4) + b

2 = -1 + b

b = 3

Now that you know m and b, you can plug all the values back into the form y = mx+b.

**Remember that y and x are never plugged back in! You need two variables to have a linear line

y = -1/4x + 3 is the answer.

If outliers are discarded, then the retirement savings by residents of Econistan is normally distributed with a mean of $100,000
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

The firgure attached illustrate the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the retirement savings of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(100000,20000)  

Where \mu=100000 and \sigma=20000

We are interested on this probability

P(X>117000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

Given that lines b and c are parallel, select all that apply.
dangina [55]

Answer:

Angles 7, 2, and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

       Angle 7 is congruent by corresponding angles to angle 3.

       Angle 2 is congruent by vertical angles to angle 3.

       Angle 6 is congruent by vertical angles to angle 7, which is congruent to angle 3, so angle 3 and angle 6 must also be congruent.

Licemer1 [7]
I think the answer is 12 because the greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12.

Hope this helped☺☺

(That means each goody bag will have 2 pencils and 3 erasers)
