We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

Which point is on the line that passes through point R and is perpendicular to line PQ? (–6, 10) (–4, –8) (0, –1) (2, 4)
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

(-4, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of common point of the given lines are (x, y),

Thus, the slope of the line passes through the points (a, b) and R(4,2) is,

       2 - b

m1 = ------

        4 - a

Again, the slope of the line passes through two points P(-6,4) and Q(4,-4),

      -4 - 4          -8           -8          -4

m2 = ------  =   --------- = --------- = ---------

        4- (-6)       4 + 6         10        5

= m1 * m2 = -1

 

  2 - b      -4

= -------   x ---- =  -1

   4 - a      5

        8 - 4b

=     -----------   = 1

        20 - 5a

= 8 - 4b  = 20 - 5a

= 5a - 4b = 12 --------- equation 1

<u>For a = -6   and b = -10</u>

5 x -6  - 4  x  10 = -70 ≠ 12

<u>For a = -4   and b = -8</u>

5 x -4  - 4  x  - 8  = 12 = 12

<u>For a = 0  and b = -1</u>

5 x 0 - 4 x -1 = 4 ≠ 12

<u>For a = 2 and b = 4</u>

5 x 2 - 4 x 4 = -6 ≠ 12

therefore Second is correct

hope it helps and i get the brainliest.

mean is average, add all numbers and divide by quantity of numbers.

Median is the middle value, list the numbers from smallest to largest and find the middle number.


mode is the number that appears the most.


1. Mean = 6

Median = 5

Mode = 6


2. Mean = 86.1

Median = 86.5

Mode = 85
