Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression;

2x + y = -5;

The given equation must be written in a form where the slope is the negative inverse of the given one.

A line perpendicular to another will have a negative inverse slope.

2x + y = -5

Equation of a straight line is generally written as;

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is y - intercept

2x + y = -5

y = -2x -5

The slope of the perpendicular = $\frac{1}{2}$

So,

the new line;

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x -5

Any line with slope of $\frac{1}{2}$ will be perpendicular

Use elimination to solve and match each system of equations to the correct solution.

podryga [215]

$\begin{cases}2x-9y=-51\\2x-3y=-9\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}(2x-9y)(-1)=-51(-1)\\2x-3y=-9\end{cases}$

$\begin{cases}-2x+9y=51\\2x-3y=-9\end{cases}$ (adding the second equation to the first one)

$\begin{cases}\qquad6y=42\\2x-3y=-9\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}\qquad y=7\\2x-3y=-9\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}y=7\\2x-3(7)=-9\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}y=7\\2x-21=-9\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}y=7\\2x=12\end{cases}\\\\\\\begin{cases}x=6\\y=7\end{cases}$

To test μ for an x distribution that is mound-shaped using sample size n ≥ 30, how do you decide whether to use the normal or st

Luden [163]

Answer:
Use the normal distribution if the population standard deviation is known.
Use the student's t distribution when the population standard deviation is unknown.

Explanation:
A mound-shaped distribution refers to the normal distribution.
A good sample size for testing against the normal distribution should be
n >= 30.
The condition for the sample size is satisfied.
However, we are not given the population standard deviation, therefore it is assumed to be unknown.
Therefore the student's t distribution should be used.
