Let us convert this equation from standard to slope intercept form first.

5x+4y=8

4y=-5x+8

y=-5/4x+2

For the other line to be perpendicular it has to have an opposite reciprocal slope. That would be 4/5. This will make the equation for the new line "y=4/5x+b". We just need to find the y-intercept. Using the point given...

5=4/5(10)+b

5=8+b

b=-3

Answer: y=4/5x-3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept

The equation of the given line is

5x + 4y = 8

Rearranging the equation so that it looks like the slope intercept form, it becomes

4y = -5x + 8

y = -4/5 + 8/4

y = - 4/5/+ 2

Slope, m = -4/5

For two lines to be perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. It means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 5/4.

The line passes through (10, 5). We would determine the intercept by substituting m = 5/4, x = 10 and y = 5 into y = mx + c. It becomes

5 = 5/4 × 10 + c

5 = 25/2 + c

c = 5 - 25/2 = -15/2

The equation becomes

y = 5x/4 - 15/2

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable
Annette [7]

Answer:

A=discrete; B=continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is = discrete

​(b) The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.=continuous

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time such as the case of free dash throw attempts

Continuous Variables are more difficult to count. In statistics, time is a Continuous Variable

A survey asked only girls to identify their favorite item on the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased sample is a sample that does not accurately represent the population.

The survey asked only girls, but we can assume this school has both boys and girls. Therefore, by only asking girls, it creates a bias, because the boys in the school are not represented.

Therefore, the correct choice is B: biased sample.
