Answer:
y = ½(13- x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Find the<em> slope (m₁) of the original line
</em>
The equation for the original line is
y = 2x - 6
slope = m₁ = 2
Step 2. Find the <em>slope (m₂) of the perpendicular line
</em>
m₂ = -1/m₁ Substitute the value of m₁
m₂ = -1/2
Step 3. Find the <em>equation for the perpendicular line</em>
y = mx + b Substitute the value of m₂
y = -½x + b
The line passes through (5, 4).
4 = -½(5) + b Add 5/2 to each side
4 = -5/2 + b Add 2 to each side
b = 13/2
y = -½x + 13/2
y = ½(13 – x)
In the image, below, the red line is the graph of your original equation.
The blue line passing through (5, 4) is the perpendicular line.
Answer: The mean temperature for the first eight days is 6.5 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: The most important piece of clue has been given which is the mean (average) for the observed data set, which is 7 days.
Note that the formula for the mean of a data set is derived as;
Mean = ∑x / f
Where ∑x is the summation of all observed data set and f is the number of data observed, that is 7. The formula now becomes;
6 = ∑x / 7
By cross multiplication, we now have,
6 * 7 = ∑x
42 = ∑x
This means the addition of all temperature observed on the first 7 days is 42. The temperature on the eighth day is now given as 10 degrees, this means the summation of all observed data for the first eight days would become 42 + 10 which equals 52. Therefore when calculating the mean for the first eight days, ∑x is now 52. The formula for the first eight days therefore is derived as follows;
Mean = ∑x / 8
Mean = 52 / 8
Mean = 6.5
The calculations therefore show that the mean temperature for the first eight days in January is 6.5 degrees
1-5q+ 2(2.5q+8)
1-5q+5q+16
0+15
15
(The q goes away because in addition a negative and a positive of the same # equal 0 since its 0 there is no letter)
Answer:
-.2857
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
<span>The average number of daylight hours each month in Springfield in 2015:
Jan 9.5
Feb 10.5
Mar 12
Apr 13.25
May 14.5
Jun 15
Jul 14.75
Aug 13.75
Sep 12.5
Oct 11.0
Nov 9.75
Dec 9.25
Now, we observe the trend of the monthly hours, it starts with a low value then increases and decreases back to the original value. This represents a parabola with the highest point of 15 hours. </span><span />
