Answer:

C) 3x - 4y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of AB is

M( (-2 + 4)/2, (-5 + 3)/2 ) = M(1, -1)

Line AB has slope:

(3 - (-5))/(-2 - 4) = 8/(-6) = -4/3

Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

A perpendicular to line AB has slope 3/4.

The perpendicular to line AB that passes through the midpoint of segment AB is the line we want.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - (-1) = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1)

y + 1 = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1)

4y + 4 = 3(x - 1)

4y + 4 = 3x - 3

3x - 4y = 7

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment joining a and b

m = 8/(-6) =-4/3

For that of the perpendicular bisector...

m = 3/4

Midpoint of Segment joining a and b

([-2+4]/2 , [3-5]/2)

=(1, -1)

y=mx+c

-1=(3/4)(1)+c

c= -7/4

y=3x/4 - 7/4

4y=3x - 7

3x-4y = 7

Answer:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the most accurate to estimate the difference

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the best statistical method that can be used to determine the systematic difference between the mean values of two given set of population in any random experiment

In this case the two set of populations would be the one in which temperature is measured by thermometers on ground and sensor mounted in a space satellite.
