P (6,6) y=2/3x

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Given point P(6, 6)

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P

Solution:

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

Now, we compare the given equation by standard form y = mx +c

So, slope of the line m_{1} = \frac{2}{3}, and

y-intercept c=0

We know that the slope of the perpendicular line m_{1}\times m_{2}  = -1

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{m_{1}}

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }

m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

So, the slope of the perpendicular line m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

From the above statement, line passes through the point P(6, 6).

Using slope intercept formula to know y-intercept.

y=mx+c

Substitute point P(x_{1}, y_{1})=P(6, 6) and m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

6=-\frac{3}{2}\times 6 +c

6=-3\times 3 +c

c=6+9

c=15

So, the y-intercept of the perpendicular line c=15

Using point slope formula.

y=mx+c

Substitute m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2} and c=15 in above equation.

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Therefore: the equation of the perpendicular line y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

It looks like y=x(x-2)(x+1) because of where the graph intersects the x-axis.

This is the same as y = x³-x²-2x

A researcher is 95% confident that the interval from 5.2 hours to 7.8 hours captures u = the true mean amount of time
igor_vitrenko [27]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.

====================================================

Explanation:

The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol \mu which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.

The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8

We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2

Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.

Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
