We know that perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative inverses of each other. This means that the slope of the line we are going to need to find is 3.
Now, we can use the point-slope formula to find the actual equation of the line we are trying to find. The point-slope formula is
, where 
and 
are the coordinates of a point on the line and m is the slope.
Thus, the equation of the line we are trying to find is:
(y - 7) = 3(x - 2)
y - 7 = 3x - 6
y = 3x + 1
However, this is not an answer choice. The answers given have the constant on the right side of the equation. Thus, we will make our answer have the constant on the right side:
y - 3x = 1
-3x + y = 1
3x - y = -1
This is an answer choice. B, or 3x - y = -1 is the correct answer.

Answer:
84.13% probability a particular tire of this brand will last longer than 57,100 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
What is the probability a particular tire of this brand will last longer than 57,100 miles
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 57100. So
has a pvalue of 0.1587
1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413
84.13% probability a particular tire of this brand will last longer than 57,100 miles
