Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply together to equal -1

Let the slope of the perpendicular line be p

a/b * p = -1

Multiply each side by b/a so we can isolate p

a/b * b/a * p = -1 * b/a

p = -b/a

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Radda [10]

Answer: The base is 18.3ft

Sam wants to build a wooden deck on his patio, which is in the shape of a parallelogram. The area of the patio is 280 ft2. Find the base. Round your answer to the nearest foot. (height=5x)(base=6x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 280ft^2

height = 5x

Base = 6x

The area of the parallelogram A can be written as;

Area = base × height

A = b×h

Substituting the values of Area, base and height.

280 = 5x × 6x

280 = 30x^2

x^2 = 280/30

x = √(280/30)

Since the base = 6x ;

Substituting the value of x.

Base = 6x = 6(√(280/30))

Base = 18.3ft

The base is 18.3ft

<span>Based on the rules of statistics</span>

 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviation of the mean

99% of the data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean

 20 falls between the range of -56 to 56 (from the given 95%)

Hence we accept the null hypothesis; else, if the mean falls outside the range, we reject the null hypothesis.
