Answer:

C, (1,0)

Explanation:

A perpendicular line is when 2 lines cross each other with right angles, which are 90⁰ angles. Two lines are only perpendicular when the lines slopes are negative reciprocals to each other.

To find the slope of the first graph use, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

This is, 2-0/4+4

2/8

1/4 is the slope for the first line.

The negative reciprocal of this is -4.

We are also looking for a point on the x axis, so this eliminates answer choice A, and B, because they aren't even on the x axis.

When you test out answer choice c it will show that,

-4-0/2-1=-4/1 which is just -4.

These points on line p will pass each other when you add +4, y=-4x+4. So because of both of these lines negative reciprocating slopes, it shows that it will be answer C.

If a researcher was collecting data from the same group of 30 people from infancy through childhood, they would be using the ___
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. longitudinal

Explanation:

A longitudinal study examines a given group over a long period of time, so collecting data from the same group of 30 people over their lifetime certainly fits that definition.  It's more like an evolution study.

A cross-sectional compares different groups at the same point in time.  So, it's more like a survey.

A microgenetic is much focused in time, providing multiple data sets in a short time to examine rapid evolution of a subject.

An experimental study design will make interactions and experiments with the study group, while this is not the case here apparently, and experimental is usually for a much shorter period than a generation.
