When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slope will be the opposite of the reciprocal of the other.

In this scenario, a line is perpendicular to 2. The other line will be the opposite of the reciprocal of this line.

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Good luck!

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong, it increases

C is wrong, the coefficient does not determine if it is linear (straight), the exponent does.

D is wrong, you don't need to know a point to determine if it is linear, (if you have 3 points you can though. )

Cas walks 3/5 miles in 24 min at a steady pace, how long does it take him to walk 2 miles?

san4es73 [151]

Your answer is 80 mins, or an hour and 20 mins. You simply turn that fraction to a decimal by diving 3 with 5. This should turn out to be 0.6. Then you multiply the 24 mins with the 2 miles and it turns out to be 48. After this, you divide 48 by 0.6 and you get 80.

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes

kifflom [539]

We have been given for a normal distribution the mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. And the mean time it takes for the bus to get to school is 20 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes.

(a) Average time that it would take reach school can be obtained by adding the average times.

8+20 = 28 minutes.

(b) Standard deviation of the trip to school can be found as:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2^{2}+4^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}=4.47$
