Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+\dfrac{19}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===================================\\\\\text{We have the equation i the standard form.}\\\text{ Convert it to the slope-intercept form}\ y=mx+b:\\\\5x+9y=-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\9y=-5x-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{5}{9}x-1\to m_1=-\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{5}{9}}=\dfrac{9}{5}$

$\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:}\\\\1=\dfrac{5}{9}(-2)+b\\\\1=-\dfrac{10}{9}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{5}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{19}{9}=b\to b=\dfrac{19}{9}$

Answer: b)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rule out A) and C), because you have to find area (no adding.)

To do this problem, you can individually multiply the estimated hieght and

width by 3 and then multiply together.

This is because there are 3 walls that each are 9 3/4 tall and 14 1/4 wide. To find total height and width, multiply by 3. Then find total area (lxw)

9 3/4 rounds to 10

14 1/4 rounds to 14

= 3 (10) x 3 (14)

D) is incorrect because you have to multiply each number by 3. (Or you can multiply by 6)

It is B)

Find the 50th term for the sequence 31,24, 17

Nikitich [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

-312

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

an = a1 +d(n -1)

Here, you have first term a1 = 31, and common difference d = 24-31 = -7. So, the 50th term is ...

a50 = 31 -7(50 -1) = 31 -7(49) = -312

The 50th term for the sequence is -312.

A zoo collected data on the diving times of turtles. Based on the data, the regression line is j = 0.010 + 2.515x, where x is th

mariarad [96]

Answer:

6.298 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that x is the time of the dive in minutes.

We simply first need to convert 150 seconds to minutes before substitution into the regression formula;

Kindly recall that 60 seconds = 1 minute

So 150 seconds will be 150/60 = 2.5 minutes

We now proceed to substitute into;

j = 0.010 + 2.515(x)

i = 0.010 + 2.515(2.5)

j = 0.010 + 6.2875

j = 6.2975 which go 3 decimal places is 6.298 meters
