Answer:

D) y = -2

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given point (-3,-2)

In graph the equation of line x = 8 ( parallel to y- axis )

1 x + o y - 8 =0

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line

b x - a y + k =0

o x - 1 y + k =0 ...(i)

The equation (i) is Paases through the point ( -3,-2)

0 ( -3) -1(-2) + k =0

2 + k =0

k = -2

∴The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is

put k = -2 in equation (i)

o x - 1 y + k =0

- y +(-2) =0

- y = 2

y = -2

Final answer:-

∴The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is y =-2

Komok [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

how the prices at Payless compared to the prices

at Famous Footwear. At each store, they randomly

selected 30 pairs of shoes and recorded the price of

each pair. The table shows summary statistics for

the two samples of shoes.28

Store

Mean

Famous Footwear

$45.66

$16.54

Payless

$21.39 $7.47

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the

0.05 significance level that shoes cost less

, on

average, at Payless than at Famous Footwear?

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram with the vertices W(−2, 5), X(2, 5), Y(4, 0),

emmasim [6.3K]

Using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram is: (1, 2.5).

<h3>What are Diagonals of a Parallelogram?</h3>

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore, the coordinates of their intersection can be determined using the midpoint formula, which is: $M(\frac{x_2 + x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2 + y_1}{2})$ .

A diagonal is XZ.

X(2, 5) = (x1, y1)

Z(0, 0) = (x2, y2)

Plug in the values

$M(\frac{0 + 2}{2}, \frac{0 + 5}{2})$

= (1, 2.5).

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

choice A is not guaranteed since the values varied from 0 to 7.

choice B seems alright, but doesn't include about or anything about the long run.

choice C is incorrect because 50% are less than 3.12 and 50% are greater than 3.12.

choice D seems pretty good, since it says average, long run, approach, etc.

choice E is incorrect because it says "will be". It is not definite.
