Answer:

y = (1/3)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. That makes the slopes of perpendicular lines negative reciprocals. Since line p has slope -3, the slope of line t is 1/3. Also, line t passes through point (9, 2).

y = mx + b

m = slope

y = (1/3)x + b

Now we replace x and y with the x- and y-coordinates of the given point, respectively, and we solve for b.

2 = (1/3)(9) + b

2 = 3 + b

b = -1

Now we replace b with -1.

y = (1/3)x - 1

So you subtract their integers by starting from the bottom then coming up to the top. And you just put the numbers in your calculator. Once you’ve got your answer for X and Y, you multiply them both. Which will give you -9/3. Next you divide -9 by 3 and 3 divided by 3. Which will give you -3/1 and just rewrite it as -3. I don’t know if this helps but I hope it does :).

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (7,-14)

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

Using the formula above,

slope of line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 14)}{ - 3 - 7} \\ = \frac{1 + 14}{ - 10} \\ = \frac{15}{ - 10} \\ = - \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is simply a graphical visualization of the distribution of a particular variable or data set. Besides, a histogram accurately represents the distribution of numerical data and estimates of the probability distribution of a a given continuous variable.

There exist a number of software which can easily compute a histogram associated with a particular data. One of the most commonly used software for this purpose is Stat-Crunch software.

To generate a histogram in stat-crunch follow these steps;

Enter the data in any column of stat-crunch

Click on Graph followed by Histogram

Select the column that contains your data

Click compute

Stat-Crunch generates the histogram as shown in the attachment below.
