Answer:

y = -5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations, or lines, that are perpendicular to each other have opposite reciprocals for the value of slope.  For the given line, y = 1/5x - 2, the slope is 1/5 and the opposite reciprocal is -5.

Given the value of the slope and a given point on the second line, you can solve for 'b':

y = mx + b

8 = (-5)(-5) + b

8 = 25 + b

-17 = b

y = -5x - 17

Suppose that f(x) is the (continuous) probability density function for heights of American men, in inches, and suppose that f(69
anastassius [24]

Answer:

(a) 7.6%

(b) 46.2%    42.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)According to the definition of Continuous probability distribution

f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)

f(x) = \frac{F(x + h) - F(x - h)}{(x + h) - (x - h)}

f(69) = \frac{F(69 + 0.2) - F(69 - 0.2)}{0.4}

⇒ 0.19 × 0.4 = F(69.2) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(69.2) - F(68.8) = 0.076

⇒ 7.6%

(b) Given F(69) = 0.5

f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)

f(x) = \frac{F(x) - F(x - h)}{x - (x - h)}

f(69) = \frac{F(69) - F(69 - 0.2)}{0.2}

⇒ 0.19 × 0.2 = F(69) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(68.8) = 0.5 - 0.038 = 0.462

⇒ 46.2%

f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)

f(x) = \frac{F(x) - F(x - h)}{x - (x - h)}

f(69) = \frac{F(69) - F(69 - 0.4)}{0.4}

⇒ 0.19 × 0.4 = F(69) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(68.8) = 0.5 - 0.076 = 0.424

⇒ 42.4%

Sarah earns $3.25 an hour stuffing envelopes. Write a rule to describe how the amount of money, m, earned is a function of the n
DENIUS [597]
Answer is 3.25h = m
That’s because Sarah’s earning 3.25 per hour so if you want to figure out how much money she’s making you can just substitute your value for h. Pls mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day
