Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = –2x + 5 and contains the point
1 answer:
The given equation is:
To find the line perpendicular to it, we interchange coefficients and switch the signs of one coefficient.
The equation to a line perpendicular to it is:
$ 2y-x=c$
where, $c$ is some constant we have determine using the condition given.
It passes through $(2,-1)$
Put the point in our equation:
$2(-1)-(2)=c$
$c=-2-2$
$c=-4$
The final equation is:
$\boxed{ 2y-x=-4}$

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is the population standard deviation (6) divided by the square root of the sample size (√144=12). Thus, your threshold is about (19.25-20)/(6/12) = -1.5 standard deviations from the mean.
