The equation of line AB is (y-3)= 5(x-4). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line AB?

1 answer:

4 0

*Hint: When the slope of a line is perpendicular, it would have the negative reciprocal.

First, let's simplify this equation into y = mx + b format.

y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 17

Since 5 is the slope of this equation, the negative reciprocal would be -1/5.

Answer: -1/5

write an equation to find the number of students in mr.boggs homeroom if the total number of stdents is 90

prohojiy [21]

The number of students in Mr. Boggs’s homeroom is equal to b. Add the total number of students in each class and set it equal to 90.

90 = b + 1.5(b + 2) + 15 + (2b – 9)

Use the Distributive Property, and collect like terms. 90 = b + 1.5b + 3 + 15 + 2b – 9

90 = 4.5b + 9

The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 523, and he is therefore justified in moving th

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

C) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ be the the average attendance at games of the football team

The claim: the average attendance at games is over 523

Null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : μ=523

$H_{a}$ : μ>523

The conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that test statistic is lower than critical value. Therefore it is not significant, there is no significant evidence to accept the alternative hypothesis.

That is no significant evidence that the average attendance at games of the football team is greater than 523.

John took a 5 ½ mile walk to his friend’s house. He left at 11 a.m. and arrived at his friend’s house at 1 p.m. What was John’s

olganol [36]

Answer:

5.5 miles over 2 hours--> 5.5/2= 2.75 miles per hour was his average walking speed. 5.5 miles over 2.5 hours --> 5.5/2.5= 2.2 miles per hour on the return trip meaning that his average speed was (2.75-2.2= 0.55) 0.55 miles per hour lower on the return trip

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps you :)
