Answer:
2y - 3x = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the line 4x + 6y = 1 is as shown below;
Rewrite in slope intercept form;
6y = -4x+1
y = -4x/6 + 1/6
y = -2x/3 + 1/6
mx = -2/3x
m = -2/3
The slope of the line perpendicular M = -1/(-2/3)
M = 3/2
Get the x and y intercept of 2x+3y = 18
x intercept occurs when y = 0
2x + 0 = 18
x= 18/2
x = 9
y intercept occurs when x = 0
0 + 3y = 18
3y= 18
y = 18/3
y = 6
The line passes through the point (9,6)
Write the equation in point slope form
y - y0 = m(x-x0)
y - 6 = 3/2(x-9)
2(y-6) = 3(x-9)
2y - 12 = 3x - 27
2y - 3x = -27 + 12
2y - 3x = -15
This gives the required equation
Answer:
(a)
- Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Dependent Variable - Number of news item remembered
(b)Discrete
(c)Ratio Scale and Discrete Variable
(d) Experimental Method
Step-by-step explanation:
The psychologist wants to evaluate the claim that omega-3 fatty acids can help improve memory in normal adult humans.
(a)In the study, the participants in the two groups were given fish extracts containing Omega-3 (500 mg) and no Omega-3 (0 mg).
The memory test involves measuring the number of items each participant remembers from the past three weeks of news.
Therefore:
- Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3
- Dependent Variable - Number of news item remembered
(b) The dependent variable is discrete since the number of news items remembered can only be whole numbers.
(c)The independent variable is in milligrams of Omega-3 where the placebo is 0 mg. This is a ratio scale since it has an absolute zero.
Since the dosage is given in multiples of 50mg, it is a discrete variable.
(d)Since the psychologist seeks to manipulate the conditions of the study by introducing Omega-3 to some of the participants and placebo to other participants, it is an experimental distribution.
