Answer:

The equation for the parallel line is: y = -4x - 20

The equation for the perpendicular line is: y = 1/4x + 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is: (-6, 4)

The given equation is:

y = -4x + 8, note the slope m = -4.

A parallel line has the same slope. Use the point slope and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -4(x - (-6))

y - 4 = -4(x + 6)

y - 4 = -4x - 24

y = -4x - 20

Proof - find f(x) when x = -6:

f(x) = -4x - 20

f(-6) = -4(-6) - 20

f(-6) = 24 - 20 = 4, so the point is (-6, 4)

A perpendicular line has a slope that is negative and inverted so m = 1/4.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 1/4(x - (-6))

y - 4 = 1/4(x + 6)

y - 4 = 1/4x + 6/4

y - 4 = 1/4x + 3/2

y = 1/4x + 3/2 + 4

y = 1/4x + 3/2 + 8/2

y = 1/4x + 11/2

Proof - find f(x) when x = -6:

f(x) = 1/4x + 11/2

f(-6) = 1/4(-6) + 11/2

= -6/4 + 11/2

= -3/2 + 11/2

= 8/2 = 4, giving the point (-6, 4)

A group of researchers are interested in the possible effects of distracting stimuli during eating, such as an increase or decre

Dmitry [639]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is of 0.0302, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, the data provides convincing evidence that the average food intake is different for the patients in the treatment group.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the consumption is not different, that is, if the subtraction of the means is 0, hence:

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the consumption is different, that is, if the subtraction of the means is not 0, hence:

$H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0$

Two groups of 22 patients, hence, the standard errors are:

$s_1 = \frac{45.1}{\sqrt{22}} = 9.6154$

$s_2 = \frac{26.4}{\sqrt{22}} = 5.6285$

The distribution of the differences is has:

$\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 52.1 - 27.1 = 25$

$s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{9.6154^2 + 5.6285^2} = 11.14$

The test statistic is given by:

$t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}$

In which $\mu = 0$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

$t = \frac{25 - 0}{11.14}$

$t = 2.2438$

The p-value of the test is found using a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with t = 2.2438 and 22 + 22 - 2 = 42 df.

Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.0302.

Since the p-value of the test is of 0.0302, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, the data provides convincing evidence that the average food intake is different for the patients in the treatment group.

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What

juin [17]

Answer:

There is a positive correlation between these two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.

A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.

As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.

Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x - 4| - 3 = 3:

marissa [1.9K]

We are given the steps that are laid to determine the value of x in the expression |2x -4| - 3 = 3. First step is to add 3 to both sides, then simplify, then determine x. The first incorrect step is step 1 since we add not subtract.

together,sarah's two cats have the same mass as her dog,11 kg.the mass of one cat is 1500 g greater than the mass of the other.

Alika [10]

Let (a) be the first cat
let (b) be the second cat
a +b=11kg-----(1)
a=b+1500g⇒(1.5 kg)-------(2)
so now u have a system of two unknowns
a=11-b
substitute a in (2)
11-b=b+1.5
11-1.5=2b
2b=9.5
b=9.5/2=4.75
subs. b in (1)
a+b=11
a+4.75=11
a=11-4.75=6.25
so cat (a) is 6.25 kg
and (b) is 4.75 kg
hope I helped
