Answer:

-7x + 4y = +42

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from point (2, -7) to point (6, 0), x increases by 4 and y increases by 7. Thus, the slope of the line in question is m = 7/4.

Starting from the equation y = mx + b, and subbing (7/4) for m, 6 for x and 0 for y, we get:

0 = (7/4)(6) + b. Then b = 42/4, or 21/2. Thus, we now have y = (7/4)x + 21/2.

We must put this into "standard form." Multiplying all three terms by 4, we get:

4y = 7x + 42. Rearranging these terms to fit the "standard form" equation Ax + By = C, we get:

-7x + 4y = +42

Find the population variance of: 4 6 8 9 9 <br><br> round to the nearest hundredth

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population variance, we first need the mean:

$\bar{x}=\frac{4+6+8+9+9}{5}=\frac{36}{5}=7.2$ so the mean is 7.2. To find the population variance (which is almost exactly the same as the sample variance except for a small difference in the denominators of the formula) we have to take each number minus the mean, and then square the difference. Add together all these squared numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. Like this:

$(4-7.2)^2=10.24\\(6-7.2)^2=1.44\\(8-7.2)^2=.64\\(9-7.2)^2=3.24\\(9-7.2)^2=3.24$

Add together those numbers and divide them by 5:

$\sigma=\frac{10.24+1.44+.64+3.24+3.24}{5}=\frac{18.8}{5}=3.76$

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

1. Use a compass to make arc marks which intersect above and below then connect.

2. $y=\frac{1}{3}x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To construct a perpendicular line, use a compass to draw arc marks from one end of the segment through point P. Then repeat this again at the other end. This means at point P there will be two intersecting arc marks. Repeat the process down below with the same radius as used above. Then connect the two intersections.

2. The point slope form of a line is $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ where $x_1=-3\\y_1=1$ . We write

$(y-1)=m(x--3)\\(y-1)=m(x+3)$

Since the line is to be perpendicular to the line shown it will have the negative reciprocal to the slope of the function 3x+y =-8. To find m, rearrange the function to be y=-8-3x. The slope is -3 and the negative reciprocal will be 1/3.

$(y-1)=\frac{1}{3}(x+3)$
