Answer:

y = -2x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x - 1

y = 1/2y - 1/2

If line X is perpendicular to line Y (the line where y = 1/2y - 1/2), the slope will be the negative reciprocal of line Y. That means that there will be a negative sign instead of positive, and the 1/2 will be flipped to become 2/1, which is 2.

So, the slope will be -2.

We now have y = -2x + c.

To find c, simply put in -1 for x and 3 for y.

3 = -2 * -1 + c

c + 2 * 1 = 3

c + 2 = 3

c = 1

So, the equation of the line is y = -2x + 1.

Hope this helps!

Answer:   y = -2x + 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Perpendicular means they have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Rewrite 2y = x - 1 in Slope-Intercept format by dividing everything by 2:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\slope(m) = \dfrac{1}{2}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad m_\perp = -2

Next, Use the Point-Slope formula where (x₁, y₁) = (-1, 3) and m = -2

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y-(3)=-2\bigg(x-(-1)\bigg)\\\\\\y-3=-2x-2\\\\\\y=-2x-2+3\\\\\\\large\boxed{y=-2x+1}\\

The reacttimes data set has 50 observations of human reaction times to a physical stimulus. The reaction times are named times a
scoundrel [369]

Solution: The formula for mean is:

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}

Where:

\sum x is the sum of given observations

n is the number of observations

\sum x=87.12

n=50

\therefore Mean =\frac{87.12}{50}= 1.74 rounded to two decimal places

To find the median, we need to first arrange the data in ascending order but we are already given the data in ascending order.

Therefore, the median is:

Median=\left(\frac{n+1}{2} \right)^{th} item

                  =\left(\frac{51}{2} \right)^{th} item

                  =25.5^{th} item

                  =1.52+0.5(1.54-1.52)

                  =1.52+0.01

                  =1.53

Therefore, the median = 1.53

Find the area of the shaded region.
Iteru [2.4K]
Keeping in mind that the area of a rectangle is simply width * length, if we get the area of the larger rectangle, and then subtract the area of the smaller rectangle, we're in effect making a hole in the larger rectangle's area and thus what's leftover is the shaded area.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the larger rectangle}}{(2x+2)(3x-4)}~~-~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the smaller rectangle}}{(x-3)(x-6)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{FOIL}{6x^2-2x-8}~~~~-\stackrel{FOIL}{(x^2-9x+18)}\implies 6x^2-2x-8-x^2+9x-18&#10;\\\\\\&#10;5x^2+7x-26
